Had no problems getting a cab this morning (mind you, I did call at 6:15 a.m.).
Coming home, the cab co. said it could be up to a 30-minute wait. When I left my desk 20 minutes later, there was a cab waiting for me.
The high end of the DVP (401 down to Eglinton) was congested, but I didn't see traffic armageddon out there. The 401 wasn't congested. Neither was the Gardiner.
If the TTC workers were going to spring a surprise strike, then perhaps the weekend was the best time to do it.
