I think alot of people in the outter boroughs will suffer from the strike because the weather is cold this year and taxis' will not carry the load. Maybe some of those living in Queens can take the LIRR or Metro North but for the most part, it's really a huge problem. Maybe the can catch independant buses or those illegal minivans into the city.

I don't think the strike will last long but it makes me feel good that I take the Path and walk to work. Bike commuting in this weather will be rough as temps are hovering just above freezing. Wind chill factor on a bike in this weather must be below 5 degrees below zero.
