Whenever, wherever, Shakira’s fans were going to find a way to get to her sold-out concert in New Jersey Thursday night. Some had a smooth and efficient experience taking the bus.

Shakira's New Jersey concert at MetLife Stadium faces a traffic nightmare amid NJ Transit strike that went into effect at midnight on Friday, May 16.

Thousands of Shakira fans will descend on MetLife Stadium Thursday and Friday night but they won’t have mass transit to get there — even if NJ Transit doesn’t go on strike at midnight as planned. NJ Transit said on Monday that its rail and bus lines to MetLife Stadium will not be running during the two-day period.
