Even though a transit strike might not happen on Monday, if you live and work in Accordion City, you really should be making contingency plans. The Toronto Star published a Strike Survival Guide today featuring information on carpooling, where to park, where not to park, cycling, using GO Transit, getting a cab, going to the airport, highway driving, getting an ambulance, and service for the disabled.

Waoh !
I am French, I have lived in Paris 7 years so transit strikes are something I am quite used to. And I have never seen a newpaper publishing a survival guide for such a common matter 🙂

When was the last strike here in Toronto ?

Anyway, in these occasions I was either :
– working from home
– using my bicycle (one hour ride)
– having a day off, because calling in sick would have been somehow too obvious

Elise, former parisian strikes survivor, and still backing up anyone’s right to strike. I’m French, hey 😉
