If I had a car in New York, today would be a good day to drive into the city. There will be a noticeable reduction in taxis because taxi drivers are holding a two-day strike. According to the New York Times, the taxi industry is opposing the city's requirement for taxis to install new technology such as credit card readers and GPS screens for passengers to track their route. Even though I don't take taxis on a regular basis, this strike does affect me because I'll probably have to be squished in between sweaty, angry people pushing their way to get into and out of the subway trains.
I would be screwed if MTA subway drivers ever go on strike...which they have before.
