It was manic Monday for thousands of Long Island Rail Road riders trying to get in and out of New York City on the third day of a labor strike that has shut down the nation’s largest commuter railroad

A New York-area train system with 250,000 daily commuters is facing a shutdown if it cannot reach a deal with unionized workers to avert a strike.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the MTA and LIRR unions reached "a fair deal" to end the strike after three days.

Contingency plans and workplace policies set in place during COVID helped keep operations uninterrupted at some LI companies.

A Suffolk County man says Uber charged him and two others a whopping $200 Saturday for a one-way trip to Madison Square Garden in Midtown to see a relative graduate from medical school – a trip that would normally cost $13.

LIRR commuters are taking shuttle buses and subways into New York City as the largest commuter rail system in North America remains shut down.

The strike shut down North America's busiest commuter railroad, disrupting travel for daily riders traveling between Long Island and NYC.
