NJ Transit engineers went on strike due to a pay dispute, creating a significant impact on rail services across New Jersey and leaving major transit terminals, like Penn Station in New York, eerily empty. This strike is the first in decades and affects approximately 350,000 daily commuters, forcing many to rely on alternative transportation methods. The overall atmosphere felt post-apocalyptic during rush hour as travelers adjusted to the sudden and drastic change in their commuting routines, with worries about potential chaos in the coming days as the situation continues.
"I left home very early because of it," David Milosevich, a fashion and advertising casting director, said as he arrived at Midtown's Port Authority Bus Terminal from Montclair, NJ, first thing.
"The real test will be next week, come back here on Wednesday and see how it is," Cem Teber, a 31-year-old lawyer, told The Post after being forced to ditch his train in favor of a bus from North Bergen.
