Update on the looming Subway Strike

For the time being there is no Transit strike, but the possibility that there may be one is still a possibility. MTA officials and Labor Union officials stayed at the table till well passed the 12:00am dead line, they were there till 4:30am and an announcement on what is going on is scheduled for 6:00am.

If there were to be a strike, it would severely disrupt the ability for all those that go out on Mivtzoim every Friday, since the police are going to enact a rule that if there were to be a strike, the only way to get into a city would be in a car with 4 or more people. And due to the fact that Shabbos comes in very early, walking isn’t really a practical option.

For the time being (5:30am) all the buses and trains are still running properly.

UPDATE: The union leader just announced that there will be a series of strikes starting with private bus lines. This is a very cryptic message but what I think we can safely assume that all buses and trains will be running properly.
