Could an NJ Transit strike come in May? What riders should know
""Each train carries about 1,000 people. A bus carries about 100," said NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri."
""This is not what anyone wants to do, but we are not going to cower under a table and not have a plan for our customers. This is our priority," said Kolluri."
NJ Transit is bracing for a possible rail strike scheduled for May 16, prompting the agency to encourage remote work among commuters. This comes after the engineers' union rejected a contract offer, which threatens to disrupt service for 350,000 daily riders. NJ Transit plans to replace rail service with buses, but the logistics are challenging as buses can only carry a fraction of the passengers a train does. CEO Kris Kolluri emphasizes the need for a contingency plan, stating that while undesirable, it is essential to prioritize customers' transportation needs.
