NJ Transit officials are warning New York City residents to be ready to work from home due to a potential strike by NJ Transit workers following a rejected contract. A strike would completely halt NJ Transit rail service, affecting over 350,000 daily commuters, particularly those traveling to New York City. New Jersey has contingency plans in place, including limited bus additions and private carrier contracts to mitigate service disruption, able to accommodate only about 20% of the usual rail customers.
Transit officials in New Jersey are cautioning New York City residents to prepare for potential work-from-home arrangements on Friday due to possible NJ Transit worker strikes.
If a strike occurs, NJ Transit rail service will be fully suspended, impacting over 350,000 commutersâprimarily affecting travel to New York City.
Despite the looming strike, the Philadelphia region may experience minimal disruption, with a contingency plan focusing on limited bus routes to support the New York-bound commuters.
The contingency plan can only facilitate approximately 20% of current rail customers due to the inability of bus services to replicate rail capacity.
