NYC Girls...How are you getting around with the strike??

As someone who used to work in Manhattan a while ago and someone who hated the commute on a 'normal' day..I cannot even imagine what this is like for you girls!

I am walking to and from work. Its only about 2.5 miles each way. The human traffic on the sidewalk is getting really bad though! I decided to skip the gym this week since I am walking

My colleague picks me up and it takes about 35 minutes to get from Forest Hills to East New York. I am really lucky - I feel bad for all you Manhattan girls.

The more I watch him..the more it seem like he has his own personal agenda for this strike!

I didn't even try yesterday and it took me 2 hours today, 1 hr. of standing on line for the LIRR and the rest train time and walking from Penn.

Although my company offered to pay for the extra cost, it's only about another $4 a day. It's more the time and waiting that's killing me. I'm still at work as I'm afraid to hit the lines again.

i work in queens and live in rego park, but have to take the subway and a bus to get to campus. my boss was nice enough to pick me up the past 2 days, but now i'm on vacation until after new years. i feel so bad for everyone who works in the city

I use metro north now that I've moved to westchester and I have to say that I'm thankful that I don't have to stand on those lines to get on to LIRR. I'm happy to have my NYC world exist between 34th and 59th Street - for now. Walking in the cold gets old quickly.
