Shakira fans commuting from the TriState Area to her concerts at MetLife Stadium on Thursday and Friday (May 15-16) may need to rethink their travel plans.

NJ Transit announced on Monday (May 12) it will be halting rail and bus service to the stadium for both shows. “Due to the potential rail service stoppage, NJ Transit will not be operating train or bus service to MetLife Stadium for the Shakira concerts on May 15th and 16th,” NJ Transit said in a post on X.

Similarly, the MetLife website announced, “There will be NO NJ Transit Rail or Bus Service to MetLife Stadium for the Shakira concerts on May 15 & 16. If NJ Transit rail service is your preferred means of transportation to MetLife Stadium, please plan for an alternate way to travel to the Shakira concerts.”

Billboard Español has reached out to the NJ Transit for comment.

This decision comes amid discussions between NJ Transit and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers seeking a labor contract with federal mediators stepping in to assist, according to NBC New York. A strike, which could begin as early as midnight on May 16, would mark New Jersey’s first major rail labor stoppage in four decades, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of daily commuters.

The cancellation of transit services is expected to cause significant delays for concertgoers who had planned to rely on public transportation for the sold-out New Jersey shows, where Pitbull and Rauw Alejandro are expected as a special guests. Fans are now being encouraged to explore alternate travel options, with stadium officials warning of heavier-than-usual traffic and long waits for rideshare pickups.

The Colombian superstar kicked off the U.S. leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour on Tuesday (May 13), during which she performed to a sold-out crowd at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
