Last night I tried to get on those bus I took to work, no luck. Pretty long line, nasty traffic. I ended up taking the LIRR, which was like hell on earth on the first day of strike. Anyway, I went to the ticket buying booth, zoomed through the crowd, and went straight to track 17, the train was there, letting people off and letting people in. I was able to get in, a happy LIRR commuter. It was crowded but considering...I even managed to find a seat.
