6. There are no kids to teach.

The general ( city) plan is to keep as many people as possible from traveling. Many subways and commuter trains are out, there are mammoth lines to board busses, which are still in short supply.

People who drive are being turned back before they can cross the bridges into Manhattan. Nonetheless, there are MASSIVE traffic jams because of trees, , no traffic lights, flooded tunnels, etc.

Again... the idea is to *reduce* the commuter crush. AND... remember, there ARE NO KIDS IN SCHOOL to teach on Friday.
