We had a transit strike in Philly last year and it was fucking awful! All the buses and subways were out of operation for a week, yet the region rail (takes people out of the city to the suburbs, etc.) was in full operation. So all the trains went to, like, quadruple capacity with all the ex-bus and ex-subway riders. And since they only run hourly, your 5pm train isn't your train anymore. You had to wait for the 8pm train due to all the lines. It was a hell of a week.
