Well, i rode the 'D' train in this morning, so if the strike happens i'm walking home tonight.

as for how New Yorkers usually get to work, this city simply would not exist as it does today without cheap mass-transit. i don't know the exact numbers of course, but there are only two people that regularly drive in to work, most take either the subway or use the PATH train and then walk the half mile to the office. i'm sure we can deal with a short-term strike if it comes to that, telecommute, temporary living with friends near work and carpooling, but if the entire subway were to shut down for say a year i believe the entire makeup of the city would change. anyway i'm rambling and sleepy, here coffee coffee coffee...
