The strike would start on Sunday March 13 and cause hardships for thousands of people who live or work in New Jersey. I do have some sympathy for the workers as they have gone without a contract for 5 years. I certainly hope that a fare settlement can be reached without a work stoppage.
Today New Jersey Transit announced contingency plans. However this plan could only accomodate only 38% of the customer base. I would have to take the PATH to Newark Penn Station and then the Light Rail to NJIT. Since March 14-18 is spring break week with no classes, I will take that week off if there is a strike. I will return on Monday March 21.
Maybe Governor Christie will come down from Trenton on a white horse and solve this mess if he is not busy campaigning for Trump.
