Transit Strike Hits NYC
More than 7 million passengers in New York City are having to find a new way of getting to work, do their holiday shopping and run their everyday errands.
For the first time in 25 years, New York’s transit workers went on strike early Tuesday, shutting down the nation’s largest public transportation system days ahead of Christmas.
The strike brings to a grinding halt Metropolitan Transit Authority buses and subways throughout all five boroughs.
“I think they all should get fired,” Eddie Goncalves, a doorman trying to get home after his overnight shift, told The Associated Press. He said he’ll likely spend an extra $30 per day in cab and train fares, according to the AP.
