Transit Strike Diary, Days 2 & 3

Day 2: Did not leave immediate neighborhood.

Day 3: Walked from North Brooklyn to Midtown, boarded train, left entire city.

At the exact moment expensive Amtrak train left Penn Station, service was restored. From 200 miles north, I can feel the L train rumbling, and with equal contentment, the well-deserved, intact 4% of workers’ salaries settling into their bank accounts.
