💨 Abstract

Engineers of New Jersey Transit went on strike on Friday, halting the third-largest commuter rail service in the U.S. Negotiations between NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) broke down over salary packages. The strike will affect around 100,000 daily passengers and may impact attendance at Shakira and Beyoncé concerts. While NJ Transit has increased bus services, they acknowledge limited capacity.
