because of the hundreds of thousands off other locals trying to get out, only a couple ways in and out. interstates are backed up.
also, kinda hard to move 100K people but I believe we have a couple hundred public transportation buses they will load up with people tomorrow, that will get about 10K people out i would guess. the trains can take some out too.
Problem is people are stupid and most who are there DONT want to leave.
The 100K people without transportation is bullshit. I dont know where the media got that from. Unless if they are counting children, which is pointless because their parents have cars. there are about 500K people in the city, i would bet there is less then a couple thousand families with out transportation. And i am sure they have friends or other family members who can give them a ride. People can get out if they want to, they just don't want to.
