Stranded New Yorkers Turn to the Web
To cope with the big apple's transit strike, New Yorkers are turning to the Internet to arrange rides.
In yet another example of how powerful and useful the Web can be in times of crisis, New Yorkers are turning to the Internet not only to get more information about the strike and the city's contingency plans, but also to arrange rides.
In anticipation of the strike, people all week have been posting on Craigslist, either looking for rides in and around Manhattan or seeking passengers, because the city is requiring vehicles entering Manhattan below 96th Street to carry at least four people. By late Thursday afternoon, pages were filling up with requests and pleas for help.
