Question regarding possible NYC transit strike this weekend

Posted: 12/15/05 at 4:33pm

I am planning to come into the city by train on Saturday to see a matinee. I've just read that there may be a transit strike (subways, busses) at midnight tomorrow. My question, if this happens, what are my chances of getting a cab to and from the theatre district/Times Square area? Seriously, no joking around (Walking that far is out of the question for me). Should I go in or stay home?
Thank you.

You *just* read about it? Honey, where have you been? The city has been having agita over this crap for DAYS!

I'd stay home. It's probably not going to be worth it...the city is going to be bedlam.

Are you coming into Grand Central? Port Authority? Penn Station? What street are you going to?

That's a short walk, and you'll never find a cab.

"if the strike happens will it have any affect on NJ Transit trains and/or Penn Station?"

No, it will only affect city subways and buses.
