Are you headed to Shakira's concerts on Thursday or Friday at MetLife? There are some alternative transportation options to get to and from the stadium following the announcement that NJ Transit will not be operating train or bus service for the singer's concerts on May 15 and 16. The railroad made the decision amid a potential strike that could see train engineers walk out at midnight on Friday, a move that would halt all NJ Transit commuter trains, and impact some 350,000 commuters who work in New Jersey and New York City.
