Today was the official start of the strike for MTA in New York.. So there are no buses, no trains.. Nada.. The transit workers have been tryin to negotiate with the MTA for improvements in healthcare, pensions and so on..This negotiation has been goin on for like 2 weeks and no agreement was made
 So now normal passengers have to carpool or walk to work, school and so forth. Mind you, it's like 30 degrees outside..  It's crazy..People are walking from manhattan to brooklyn (across bridges).. Taxis and Car Service are almost impossible to get.. Why is it so hard to reach an agreement? It's costing New York, businesses losts of money.. And the MTA is not offering anything different for the transit workers...

Yeah, I'm just glad I don't live in New York right now.
