NJ Transit strike: What bus and PATH service is running as trains halted

New Jersey Transit workers are on strike for the first time in 42 years, paralyzing one of the country's busiest transport regions

New Jersey Transit engineers are on strike Friday, paralyzing one of the country's busiest transport regions and leaving as many as 350,000 commuters affected as rail riders end up stranded or seeking alternative routes.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union and NJ Transit could not reach an agreement overnight and the strike began at one minute past midnight.

Here's what you need to know.

All NJ Transit rail routes have stopped running, including the Metro-North west of Hudson service.

The company urges people to work from home where possible. While the network is making some limited alternative travel arrangements, these should be used for "essential purposes only.”
