Commuters in New Jersey are preparing for major disruptions if NJ Transit engineers go on strike next week.
The potential job action is scheduled for May 16. Buses will be one of the first alternatives for rail riders trying to reach New York City.

Riders can board buses at Woodbridge Center Mall and transfer to PATH in Harrison. The PATH ride to the World Trade Center takes about 20 minutes, if there are no delays.
PATH service was suspended earlier today due to a switch failure, according to the Port Authority.
Ferry service is another option, but long lines are already forming at some crossings. Those lines are expected to grow if the strike happens.
