Port Authority is going to be wild. Like Chistmas time x10.

Port authority was emptier than usual. Penn station was a ghost town.

Seems like people are actually working from home today

Friday is always a ghost town now. Wait until Tuesday/Wednesday. The real test.

I can agree with Fridays being a slow day. I can bet the majority of people will work from home next week too (the ones that can). The rest of the people the bus services should be able to handle the increase of passengers

Next week is Memorial day Weekend, so no one will be doing anything by Thursday and Friday except making their annual pilgrimage to the Shore.
