wtf is th MTA strike? and it affects people in NJ?

ohh my bad your in NJ lol.

Yes and No it affects people in NJ.

In short, The MTA, NYC Transit ( all the trains and buses) are on strike is out of service. Over 7million people take it daily. Now they have to find alternatives to get around.
NYC is litterly shut down you can say.
Link if want to read more

Yeah, and I bitch and moan about the traffic going into our high school parking lot.

Well day 1 of the strike is over. The city lost about an estimated $400million due to strike today.
Going into day 2 now, I wonder how long it will last

I would be surprised if it lasts longer. Eventually people are going to get livid if they can't ride buses or subways and have to continue experiencing what happened in day 1. Plus a judge is fining the MTA union 1 million dollars every day the strike goes on. Soon someone will cave in and a deal will be reached.

its finally offically over.
NYC will be up and running to its fullest in 12hrs!!
3 and a half days, over $1billion lost in this mess

Only in America...

NYC transit is the heart of NY. We have the best transit in the whole USA, possibly world ( maybe toyko, japan is better dunno)
NYC is one of the few places you can get around good without needing a car. There is a reason over 7million use it daily.

I'd hate to be packed in with so many people all the time. I'd feel like a sardine.

It ended workers will return to work tonight.
