True enough. I was living in West Philly in 1995 when SEPTA went on strike for 2 weeks. IME experience the chaotic aspects largely went away after the first couple of days...people work out carpools, etc. The first few days I schlepped down to the 49th Street station on the R3 line before finding someone to share a ride with.
