ah, so, y'all know that i've been telecommuting 3 days a week for a couple of months now, right? then on tuesdays and thursdays head into the city via bus. well, i took the train today - first time since september, believe it or not - because i figured the traffic might be insane near the lincoln tunnel (and i heard it was)
yes. the transit strike is upon us.
barely anyone is in my office today. mainly folks from jersey are representin'... only a handful from nyc. although one of my co-workers was insane enough to walk from 110th street to our office.
MY OFFICE IS AT 35th.
you do the math. 110 - 35 = LUNATIC (lunatic in a good way, mind you.)
i did notice that the Big Apple Double Decker Tour Buses were hawking their wares to the tourists to purchase a 3 Day Unlimited Hop On / Hop Off Pass.
Not for nothing, but, if you are in the city and have a desperate need to get around, you may want to push a tourist out of the way and get on one of these things.
or, take a pedicab. i've taken one before. it got me from 35th to 21st in about 6 minutes during rush hour (and in the winter they have the thing enclosed. sure, there's a chance you may die, but you'd get to your place on time.)
Anyone else in NYC have issues with the commute today? (or am i the only one in the area that reads my site? ;}
