Revision as of 15:27, 28 June 2013
NoticeThis information is updated for the 2013 strike threat.
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 will be made available for carpooling at no cost)
- 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
Richmond - Fremont
Riders from stations along the Richmond - Fremont line have the option of taking AC Transit, which some routes run parallel to BART and serve two or more stations.
Routes include: 72, 72M, 51, 1R, and 99
Free charter bus service would be available from Fremont Station and El Cerrito del Norte Station to San Francisco. The buses would only operate during peak hours (5AM - 9AM, 3PM – 7PM). Round trip ticket must be obtained in the morning to ride the trip in the afternoon.
Amtrak Capitol Corridor trains operate along the East Bay. Richmond Station and Coliseum/Oakland Airport Station are shared with BART. Amtrak provides feeder bus service from the trains in Emeryville to San Francisco. Connection to ferry is also available at the Oakland Jack London Square Station.
Concord line
Free charter bus service would be available from Walnut Creek Station to San Francisco. The buses would only operate during peak hours (5AM - 9AM, 3PM – 7PM). Round trip ticket must be obtained in the morning to ride the trip in the afternoon.
County Connection buses will stop outside BART property in an event of a strike. Additional service may be provided.
SolTrans 78 provides service from Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill to Vallejo Ferry Terminal, connecting with ferries to San Francisco.
Dublin/Pleasanton line
Wheels buses will stop outside BART property in an event of a strike.
Free charter bus service would be available from Dublin/Pleasanton Station to San Francisco. The buses would only operate during peak hours (5AM - 9AM, 3PM – 7PM). Round trip ticket must be obtained in the morning to ride the trip in the afternoon.
Transbay
Charter buses
Free charter buses will be available from five locations to Transbay Terminal during weekday peak hours.

San Francisco Bay Ferry is available in the East Bay to the Ferry Building in San Francisco:
Parking is expected to be extremely limited especially in the Jack London Square Ferry Terminal. Transit service is however available to that ferry terminal. It is also within a 10 minute walk from Amtrak's Oakland Jack London Square Station.
AC Transit
AC Transit provides bus service across the Bay Bridge to Transbay Terminal
WestCAT
WestCAT Lynx from Hercules also serve Transbay Terminal. In the event of a strike, Lynx will operate about every 10 minutes during peak hours and hourly midday.
Other bridges
Because the Bay Bridge would probably be too congested, you may want to consider taking buses on the other bridges.
- Richmond - San Rafael Bridge: Golden Gate Transit 40/42 - Transfer in San Rafael to other buses to San Francisco.
- San Mateo - Hayward Bridge: AC Transit M - Transfer to Caltrain to SF at Hillsdale Station or SamTrans KX at Hillsdale and Saratoga Drive.

SamTrans
Bus stops at Colma and Daly City stations will be relocated off BART property. Daly City stops would be on DeLong Street. Colma stops would be at the SamTrans owned parking lot on the other side of the station. At Millbrae, El Camino buses would stay on El Camino.
SamTrans would operate a shuttle from Daly City and Colma stations to Mission & Evergreen to connect with Muni services on Mission Street.
SamTrans provides regular bus service between the Peninsula and San Francisco
San Francisco
Muni Metro will continue to provide service under Market Street.
