New Jersey trains resumed full service early Tuesday after the conclusion of a four-day strike involving engineers, which had caused significant disruptions for commuters. The strike, the union's first in decades, was concluded after a tentative agreement was reached following intense negotiations. Despite the return to regular train operations, NJ Transit announced that supplemental bus services providing additional transport during the strike would no longer be available. Commuters had faced considerable travel chaos while the engineers were without a contract since 2019.
The travel nightmare for tens of thousands of commuters on both sides of the Hudson finally ended with trains resuming their normal operations from around 4 a.m.
The engineers had been working without a contract since 2019, and the strike was the union's first work stoppage in more than 40 years.
The agreement between the state and the union was reached after days of tense negotiations last week that led to the union announcing a walk-off.
Supplemental bus services that had been operating from regional Park and Ride locations during the stoppage will no longer be available, NJ Transit said.
