Whenever, wherever, Shakira’s fans were going to find a way to get to her sold-out concert in New Jersey Thursday night. Some had a smooth and efficient experience taking the bus.

Shakira's New Jersey concert at MetLife Stadium faces a traffic nightmare amid NJ Transit strike that went into effect at midnight on Friday, May 16.

Engineer workers said “enough is enough” after no deal on wage increases could be reached. The strike will have a major impact on the New York City region. Commuters in the New York City and New Jersey area are in for what is likely to be a weekend of increased congestion and more limited transit options after the engineers who run the New Jersey Transit rail system voted to go on strike.
