In the event of a strike on the BART system, you may want to consider the following:
- Adjust work schedule to avoid peak hours
- Telecommute
- Carpool (parking lot at BART station would likely be made available for carpooling)
- Alternative transit (expect crowded buses and ferries)
Local transit is available at all BART stations. However, because transit workers at other agencies are also unionized, the buses would most likely stop outside the BART property to avoid crossing the picket line.
Contents
