It has been absolutely awful. It\u2019s been three and a half hours to get to work because I work in the South Bronx. It was actually smoother than I had anticipated. It was just longer. I got on the bus in five seconds. We took off about two minutes later, so that was great. But the problem was the traffic was crazy. So as a union worker, I stand for the union. I think that for three years they knew this was up and coming. I just felt like there should have been better preparation. I\u2019m a teacher and I\u2019m a union member. I also pay monthly fares and they\u2019re expensive so I can see both sides. I don\u2019t really want to play the blame game on it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18vid-lirr-strike--vidcover-qhpt-threeByTwoMediumAt2X.jpg\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/>The Long Island Rail Road strike ended after transit officials and union representatives reached a deal.
