A possible NJ Transit rail strike doesn’t lie! NJ Transit announced it’s canceling train and bus service to MetLife Stadium for the Shakira concerts on Thursday and Friday due to the possibility of NJ Transit engineers calling a strike by the end of the week.
The above video originally aired on May 13. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (PIX11) — Ahead of Shakira’s sold-out concert at MetLife Stadium on Thursday and Friday and Beyonce’s shortly after, NJ Transit has nixed rail service to the venue in anticipation of a looming locomotive worker strike.
Fans can also get to the concerts by taking taxis or ride share services like Uber and Lyft. NJ Transit is warning concertgoers of expected surge pricing on ride share apps and anticipating delays of up to two hours for rides requested after the concert.
