This could be the first transit strike in 42 years (1983) and affect 350,000 commuters if the engineers walk off the job on Friday.

According to a Patch report, "Should a strike start on Friday, Park & Ride service will operate on a first-come, first-served basis beginning on Monday from four key regional Park & Ride lots."

• PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel to Port Authority Bus Terminal, New York (operated by Academy Bus)
• Secaucus Junction to Port Authority Bus Terminal, New York
• Woodbridge Center Mall to Harrison PATH Station
• Hamilton Rail Station to Newark Penn Station PATH

In addition, "Service will be weekdays only during the inbound AM peak period and the outbound PM peak period outbound at the locations." (Above)

It appears the best plan is to have a plan in case the NJ Transit strike happens. Be prepared and know how you are going to commute should service be interrupted.

Patch, in addition, listed other options. "NJ Transit will also enhance peak period service on existing New York bus routes near rail stations. The routes are as follows:"
