The trains in New Jersey are not working today. Many people cannot go to work in New Jersey and New York City. They must find another way or stay home.

The workers did not like the deal. They stopped working. This is the first time in 40 years.

"We gave them the plan, but they said no," said Tom Haas.

Kris Kolluri from NJ Transit said: "We are talking later."

He said, "I want to talk again soon. If they want to meet today, I will meet them. If they want to meet tomorrow, I will meet them. I think we can find a fix. Do they want to fix it?"

Murphy said: "We want a good deal. It must be fair for workers. It must cost less for people in New Jersey."

The group said: We talked for a long time. Work may stop Friday at 4 a.m.

NJ Transit has buses and trains in New Jersey. Many people use them to go to New York City. Now, the trains are not working. This stops people from going between New Jersey and New York City. The Newark airport also has problems.

The bus company said: We will have more buses. But the buses will only help a little. The buses will start on Monday. They will go to places near trains. We will also use other bus companies. They will drive from car parks on weekdays.

But the bus can take only a few people. If you can work at home, please do that.

The travel was not good. The bus and train to Shakira's show in New Jersey were off on Thursday and Friday.

They met on Monday in Washington. They talked about the problem. They will meet again on Sunday.

The agency and the train workers talk about money. The train workers want more money. They want to get $170,000 a year. Now, they get $113,000. Kris Kolluri is in charge of the agency.

NJ Transit says the engineers make about $135,000 each year. Some make more than $200,000.

Kolluri and Murphy said the problem is about money. Can they give more money without problems for NJ Transit?

The leaders can stop the strike. But they do not want to. They did it before in 2022.

The group at NJ Transit has fewer people now. Some people left to work at other train jobs for more money. Now there are about 450 people, but there were 500 some months ago.
