The 1980 Transit Strike:

During the city's last transit strike, in 1980, pedestrians and bicyclists trekked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Joseph K. Keegan, a concourse transit officer at the 42nd Street station, stands near a closed concession.

Larry Reilly, president of Transportation Alternatives, directed bicycle traffic on 34th Street.

A visitor from Pennsylvania hails a cab at 33rd Street
and 8th Avenue.

Commuters walking on the Queensboro Bridge.

Mayor Edward I. Koch joined pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge in the 1980
strike, a gesture that Mr. Bloomberg said he would emulate.
