Grounded Travelers Turn to Buses in Droves
December 29, 2010
The New York Times
By NATE SCHWEBER
Reuben Burgos, who works for Def Jam records, had to get to
New York City from Los Angeles to help out at the big New Year’s Eve party in
Times Square.
Unfortunately, his Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles International
Airport to La Guardia Airport on Monday was canceled. So he had to improvise.
“They told me I could get a flight to Syracuse today,” Mr. Burgos, 29, said
inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Wednesday afternoon. “So I did, and I
took the bus from there. It’s been a long trip.”
All day Wednesday, would-be airline passengers staggered out of the Greyhound
and Trailways bus terminal gates, many of them with similar stories. They were
forced to travel by land because the blizzard had grounded their flights, and
they had to get to New York for work, airline connections and New Year’s Eve
celebrations.
Lisa Gargamelli, 33, a bill collector who lives in Branford, Conn., flew to
Milwaukee for Christmas to visit her boyfriend, who is a truck driver. When she
learned on Monday that her flight had been canceled, she hitched a ride with her
boyfriend in his 18-wheeler to Baltimore. Then she took a bus to Port Authority
before continuing home on the Metro-North Railroad.
“It was tiring and long,” Ms. Gargamelli
said. “I will be happy to be home in my own bed tonight.”
Abiola Billey, 30, a law clerk from St. John’s in Antigua, went to Miami for
Christmas and planned to fly to New York on Sunday to visit family before
heading home on Thursday. When her JetBlue flight on Sunday was canceled, and
she was told that she could not get another flight to New York until Friday, her
next call was to Greyhound. She spent nearly 36 hours on a bus in order to have
less than 12 hours in New York before her trip to Antigua.
“Christmas was nice,” Ms. Billey said, “but everything after that went
downhill.”
Bus companies added extra shifts of workers to deal with the glut of passengers,
many of whom found train seats as hard to find as plane seats, officials said.
William Lassiter, a Greyhound driver for 31 years, said this week had been on
par with Thanksgiving weekend, among the year’s busiest for bus travel.
“It’s been a little overwhelming,” Mr.
Lassiter said.
