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)

Alternative transit

Local transit is available at all BART stations.

Richmond - Fremont

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

Concord line

Most buses in the area do not run parallel to BART, and there's no bus that run between Orinda and Oakland. It is likely that BART would provide charter bus service in that corridor.

Dublin/Pleasanton line

Most buses in the area do not run parallel to BART, and there's no day time bus that run between Dublin/Pleasanton and Castro Valley. It is likely that BART would provide charter bus service in that corridor.

Transbay

Ferries

Ferries are available in the East Bay to the Ferry Building in San Francisco:

AC Transit

AC Transit provides bus service across the Bay Bridge to Transbay Terminal

WestCAT

WestCAT Lynx from Hercules also serve Transbay Terminal.
