LIRR Strike Threat Prompts Service Disruptions and Contingency Plans
TL;DR
Some LIRR unions threaten to strike starting September 18, which could shut down service and severely impact nearly 300,000 daily passengers. The MTA is negotiating but advises travelers to work from home if possible, and to consider shuttle buses, NICE buses, and accessible options as alternatives. Refunds for monthly tickets may be available for days service is suspended.
