Re: Do you think the MTA will strike?
The drivers will finish all their routes--even if it goes after midnight. Of course that's not going to do anything if you're travelling and need to transfer to something else 
In any case, I heard that the ferry and the Staten Island trains will not be affected.

Re: Do you think the MTA will strike?
No they aren't going to strike.
The deadline will pass... they will come out and say they aren't striking yet... but are still going to try to work out a deal.
A new deal will be made either tomorrow or by Monday.

I think, if it came to that, he would be able to get a cab at that hour, but they still aren't striking & like Kelly said, they will finish their route, so I think he'll be ok.

According to NY1, the next 'wave' of strikes (city-wide) wouldn't be until Monday after midnight:
After an all-night bargaining session with the MTA, officials with the Transit Workers Union announced Friday morning that they would not accept the MTA's contract proposal, and instead would begin a series of strikes to put pressure on the city.
TWU president Roger Toussiant said the job action would begin Friday with the privately-owned Jamaica and Tri-Borough bus lines, before spreading to city buses and subways.
A city-wide strike would begin Monday at midnight if no contract agreement was reached before then.
