Metroblogging Poll: Possible Skytrain Strike

This week, many people may not be able to get to work on time. Some may jump into conspiracy theory mode saying that the hour-long “breakdown” last week and during the snow storm was all building up to this.

SkyTrain could be hit by a strike as early as the end of next week, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said today. CUPE Local 7000, which represents 516 SkyTrain attendants, control operators, skilled trades, maintenance and clerical staff, said its members voted 90 per cent in favour of strike action.

This brings us to our poll (a little experiment of mine on Metblogs Vancouver).

free poll How will you get around (out n’ about or to work) if there is a Skytrain strike?
I’ll have to drive (although all routes will turn into parking lots)
I’ll have to walk (using my own two legs like a sucker)
I’ll have to bus (although who’s to say they won’t do a sympathy strike)
I’ll shut myself in my home and not leave until it’s over
I dunno, I’ll just be SCREWED

    Way to make a functional poll.

    Seems like that Vizu poll site is kinda quirky. It works intermittently. I’ll try and find a new one quick.

    I walk to work everyday, I think it would mostly hinder our weekend travel plans.

    You know my thoughts on that one…I will just have to crash downtown with you indefinitely.

    I carpool to work. My wife has a parking spot at work. No problem.

    (Oooooh, that’s bad karma, but I couldn’t resist).
