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.

NJ Transit and an engineers’ union appear to be steaming ahead to the first major rail strike in decades starting early Friday, even as both sides convene in Washington, D.C., where they pledged to continue negotiations.
