An agreement was reached on Sunday to end New Jersey’s first statewide transit strike in more than 40 years just three days after it started, two people close to the negotiations said.

Just 10 hours into a historic NJ Transit strike that put the state’s commuter rail system in a standstill, stranding 100,000 riders, Gov. Phil Murphy vowed to keep negotiating— but in a way that won’t bankrupt the agency.

Gov. Phil Murphy and NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri discussed the NJ Transit engineer's strike Friday at Aberdeen-Matawan station.
