No mention how long it takes to board. It would seem that it would take hours.

Impressive. And sad. I hope they get transportation relief soon. Subways will be back up soon, hopefully.

(879 posts)7. I talked to one of my clients in Brooklyn today
Normally it is a 45 minute subway ride to her office. Today it was 20 minutes on the subway then an hour on the bus. But she was glad to be at work.

(20,776 posts)9. The last time i saw bus lines like that...
Was after the "49ers won the SUPERBOWL" parade..I think it took me something like four to five hours to get home..and that was after being disgusted and going to find a cab... Btw another good reason for me not to go see the parade for the 2012 World Champion Giants.
Its amazing how many people can all head home at the same time!
