As most people have feared the TWU has announced a full scale strike starting now [3:00am] all buses and trains will not be running. Here I will try to outline what will be happening now.

All alternate side parking regulations will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

Public schools would open two hours later than usual.

Cars entering the busiest areas of Manhattan must carry a minimum of four people (the entire Manhattan south of 96th St.).

Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road will offer local shuttles in the Bronx and Queens.

Yellow cabs could pick up more than one fare at a time.
