Description

Description

NJ Transit operates buses and rail in New Jersey, providing nearly 1 million weekday trips including commuter trains between New York City's Penn Station and northern New Jersey communities, as well as service to Newark airport. A potential walkout by NJ Transit engineers could halt all commuter train services, affecting about 100,000 daily commuters. The agency plans to increase bus service and contract private carriers to mitigate the impact, but buses would only handle about 20% of current rail passengers.
