Service on the Long Island Rail Road is suspended after leaders of the LIRR unions and the MTA failed to come to a contract agreement.
The strike could impact New Jersey residents traveling through New York City this weekend.
The timing could create major travel issues during a busy weekend for New York sports fans, with the Subway Series taking place at Citi Field in Queens. Many fans use the Long Island Rail Road from New York Penn Station to reach the stadium.
For those looking for another way to get to the games, the Mets are offering a direct shuttle from Paramus Park Mall. Tickets cost $8 per person.
News 12 recently reported on the Paramus shuttle service for commuters.
