Suzanne Sharp stood at Bay Shore Train Station waiting for the 3:58 p.m. westbound train.
Originally from Seaford, Sharp now lives in Queens and said she was thrilled to hear that the strike had ended.
“Thank god, man. I was so glad to see the ticket man in Patchogue,” Sharp said.
Sharp, who is in between jobs, said she was worried the strike would last longer. She said the strike did not affect her opinion of the MTA.
“No, I love the MTA. I don’t know where I’d be without them,” Sharp said. “I was so scared; I went to Jamaica yesterday and everything said, ‘No passengers.’ ”
