Fares to New York City on the passenger rail line were several times higher on Friday than the normal cost of a ticket on NJ Transit.

NJ Transit and the engineers union reached a tentative deal Sunday to end the strike, but service won't resume until Tuesday.

Maplewood, which ordinarily runs jitney buses to and from the township’s NJ Transit rail station, announced that in the event of a strike buses will be re-rerouted to the South Orange station, which is offering Manhattan express bus service.
