Based on my recent experiences driving past the Baldwin LIRR station around 8:45 AM weekdays, I'm going to say that a lot of people stayed home altogether just because it was Monday and it was supposed to snow. Some people may not have returned from holiday travel either. Unfortunately, I stayed home today too, so I didn't get to see the LIRR parking lot. Usually, these days in general it doesn't take much to empty it, especially on Fridays and Mondays.I'm still inclined to think that most people simply aren't that cheap. Today, you can't get out of Chick-Fil-A with just a simple sandwich and a drink for much less than $10, and its competitors aren't much better. For that matter, just parking in midtown Manhattan can easily cost $40 a day in addition to tolls, so another $9 isn't going to faze anyone who is still driving. Much of that crowd might even be brought in by limousine. But we'll see. |
