Commercial flights resumed at PBIA Wednesday and "little by little airlines are resuming normal schedules," airport spokeswoman Lisa De La Rion-dasaid. The port is handling 90 percent of its regular traffic after reopening to truck and ship traffic, inbound and outbound, Wednesday morning, port Executive Director Lori Baer said. "We're thrilled to be at the point that we are," she said.

There are some restrictions: Port operations are confined to daylight hours, and vessel drafts have been reduced four feet, Baer said. That means some ships cannot go in and out as heavily loaded, until soundings and a Coast Guard navigational review show that the shipping channel is safe for vessels that sink more deeply into the water. most bumper to bumper, all the way to Linton Boulevard. Carpet installer Michael Calabro sat in one, crawling along "completely on empty" and having to push at times. "It's wild, it's wild, it's something else," Calabro said.

For those who didn't car-pool, there was another obvious option: mass transit. But one of those mass movers, Tri-Rail, remained closed Thursday. None of Tri-Rail's trains rumbled along any of the West Palm Beach-to-Miami commuter-rail route. Several miles of track still needed to be cleared of storm debris, and Tri-Rail had no power at 83 of its railroad crossings and its traffic warning systems, said Joseph Giu-lietti, executive director of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. "Eighty-three is an impossible number to work with," he said.

"We don't anticipate service in the next few days." Palm Tran buses were running, but the service was not in weekday form. The buses are following a pared-back Sunday not going to be able to get to work." Carpooling was on the mind of managers at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton, too. Standing behind the black marble registration desk, in the dim light of a battery-powered lantern, Robert Wade, front desk manager, and Clara Ma-chin, executive housekeeper, had just exchanged addresses to take turns driving to work. Their work schedules fell into sync after the storm, and they live in the West Boca Winds neighborhood, which makes it ideal to travel together to get to the hotel at Interstate 95 and Yamato Road, they said. Of course, there was the position of the gas needle on their dashboards to consider, too.

For workers contemplating a carpool, plenty of motivation could be found at the NexStore Marketplace, 8081 Congress Ave. in Boca Raton. Cars waiting to pull up to a pump there stretched north, al BYNEILSANTANIELLO STAFF WRITER Idling and inching forward, idling and inching forward.

The excruciatingly long queues of vehicles waiting for gasoline Thursday drove home the point: There may be no better time to conserve fuel and carpool, or find a way to work that does not require filling your tank. Mercy Adan and Terri Ken-nelly, account managers at Ecometry a Delray Beach software company, had just that thought. v- They doubled up in Kennel-ly's Toyota Sienna minivan on Wednesday, commuting from Parkland to their workplace near Linton Boulevard and Congress Avenue. By Thursday, they had three other employees tucked as well into Adan's Jeep Cherokee for the ride to work. They had never ride-shared before.

"We're saving gas for other necessities," Adan said. Kennelly said she felt compelled to carpool to stretch her supply of fuel.

That means 45 buses running instead of 1 1 0, hourlong waits in general at bus stops and service ending at 6 p.m., he said.

Service was reduced because many people cannot yet return to their jobs, which leaves buses emptier, and to conserve fuel, Cohen said. Many bus riders are out shopping for post-storm supplies, Cohen said, "or just trying to go somewhere without using their car." There's an added incentive. Bus fares have been suspended until the service returns to normal weekday operation, Cohen said.
