T-minus 5 hours and counting...

Will there or won't there be a strike? The thought has been on everyone's mind all day today and seems to be topic du jour.

As it stands, there's something like 7 million commuters who are going to get bent over because of the strike. Will it make the public more sympathetic toward the Union workers?

I think not.

In theroy, a union is a good concept, but greed is human nature. Both ends in a struggle like this want more. Workers want more money. Bosses want to spend less money. All about the money...

I say we, as riders, need to go on our own strike. Let's see how long either party lasts when nobody takes mass transit. Cabs / Car services would become king...let alone the dreamy idea of people actually walking / riding bikes / carpooling, etc.

But that also will never happen when we have people (two fru-fru 20-something girls) who won't walk 2 avenues over (8 minutes) and would rather wait for over 20 minutes for a train to do that for them. Which I witnessed one day on the "L" going home.

Anyone else going to join me walking to work?

Adding to your observation of the people who take the L-Train for a block ...

I usually get on one of the last cars of L-Train and get off at Union Square every morning. Sure its really crowded and takes a minute or two to get up the stairs to the concourse with everyone going to the stairs at once.

Its amazing how many able bodied people just run towards the elevator. Its like the guy with 20 suitcases is going up the stairs, little old lady with a walker going up the stairs ... yet the 20 something dude in the nice suit riding the elevator.

Go figure.

Enough from me, I need to get ready for my big walk over the bridge. smile
