NYC Transit strike hits, traffic slower than a 1993 modem

The transit worker strike in New York brought the city's subways and buses to a halt today.

NYC bloggers are reporting events in detail. On the NYC Metblog, the group promises to cover everything "Blow by freakin' blow!"

Boing Boing reader Adam Fields says, "I took some pictures at the 96th Street blockades this morning, where the NYPD was preventing cars with fewer than 4 people from passing. Link."

Boing Boing reader Jim Parsons wonders if this morning's strike announcement sounded anything like this.
