Lincoln tunnel, that leads to New York city... It is common to see 3-4km long traffic jam during peak hours every weekday
They have separate route for Public Transit bus and other commercial or personnel vehicle which is a 3 lanes route, while for buses it has its own dedicated lane, most of the time it a bless as we are able to cover the 4km stretch in 20-30mins and on certain days all commuter have to pay a price for the liberty…
Today is one of such days...
I took the usual 8:15 bus to office as we entered bus lane after couple of minutes the smooth flow of bus fleet came to a grinding halt that when the driver announces ‘It is time for all of you to call up your offices and tell that we are stuck as a bus is broken down', and to spice it up he adds 'It is one of those genuine days when you are actually going to be late' and he laugh out loud...
People who commute via bus to office would have witness this long wait couple of times...
Almost every day when we go I see patiently car moving inches by inches and with that speed it would take close to an hour to cross the tunnel while today people who were driving by bus line are laughing as its one of those odd days when they will drive by and give bus commuters a pity look'
And the Lincoln tunnel saga continues... Finally after 35 min stop we are moving, moving and here we go...
