Brooklyn women working in Manhattan department stores jump on the back of one of the store's trucks and ride home, not in comfort, but they ride, and that is better than walking, September 7, 1920. The B.R.T. strike made riding a difficult question, especially during rush hours.

Northbound Conrail RDC 53 pauses at Katonah, NY, November 1982
Certain midday "off peak" runs were handled by a single Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC), many of former New York Central heritage. By 1982 the service was operated by Conrail for the MTA, in 1983 the service would be taken over by Metro-North. Notice the conductors are helping a passenger off with their luggage. In another two years this portion of the Harlem Line would be electrified with third rail, the station canopy razed, and a new high-level island platform constructed just north of Jay Street crossing. Conrail 53 is ex-NYC M453. Photo by Arthur J. Deeks

These Brooklynites use a motor scooter for their transportation to work as a strike of subway employees continued into the second day, December 10, 1957. From left: Ronnie Harron, George Nicholson, Peter Garland, and John Avildsen (yes, the future film director). Instead of pushing into whatever subway trains were still running, the quartet squeezed onto the scooter for their above-ground ride.

€1,850 a month for this btw.
Nearly 50% of the pre-tax median wage for the city to live in a tiny studio apartment.
