LIRR strike could turn Long Island’s roadways into parking lots
In case of a LIRR strike, the MTA will have shuttle buses going from six LIRR stations. But it acknowledges these will not be able to accommodate the majority of the LIRR’s 270,000 daily weekday riders.
If many more people take to the road, severe congestion could result.
Experts say a strike now could have worse traffic effects than previous ones in 1994 and 1987, because the LIRR has more riders and serves an additional hub, Grand Central Madison.
