Strike slows New York commutes on LIRR
The 180,000 Long Island Rail Road riders stranded by strike created heavy traffic across bridges and city roads though officials reported no major gridlock. Morning rush began before dawn as transit officials noted increased auto travel, with some drivers praising lighter traffic on certain routes. Car pooling trials appeared weak with fewer than 100 cars parked at two centers. East River crossings saw heavy volumes, while Triborough Bridge traffic remained near normal by 7:30 a.m. Subway systems coped with the influx.
