Thousands of Shakira fans will descend on MetLife Stadium Thursday and Friday night but they won’t have mass transit to get there — even if NJ Transit doesn’t go on strike at midnight as planned. NJ Transit said on Monday that its rail and bus lines to MetLife Stadium will not be running during the two-day period.

NJ Transit and an engineers’ union appear to be steaming ahead to the first major rail strike in decades starting early Friday, even as both sides convene in Washington, D.C., where they pledged to continue negotiations.

Shakira's Metlife Stadium concerts will be tougher for fans to get to now that NJ Transit has canceled its trains and bus services.

NJ Transit engineers are preparing to walk off the job on Friday, which could affect 350,000 commuters in New Jersey and New York City.

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.

Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday night that he's "hoping for the best but preparing for the worst" regarding a possible NJ Transit rail strike.
