Due to the subway strike, the city will run extra bus lines.

Because of the subway strike, the city will run extra bus lines.

The preposition "because of" can state a cause that modifies the action of a clause. The word "due" is an adjective, so "due to" must always modify a noun; here, "the city" itself is not "due to subway strikes."
