With a BART strike looking increasingly likely, here are some alternatives for getting around.
By Sasha Lekach, Bay City News Service
With the likelihood of a BART strike effective
[shortly], many Bay
Area commuters will have to find alternate ways to get to and from work and
other destinations with the strike possibly extending into the weekend.
BART will provide a limited number of free roundtrip charter buses
at nine East Bay BART stations starting Friday morning.
Buses will pick up ticketed passengers at El Cerrito del Norte,
West Oakland, Concord, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Dublin/Pleasanton, San
Leandro, Hayward and Fremont stations starting at 5 a.m.
BART officials said there will be five to 15 buses at each
station.
The buses will drop off passengers at San Francisco's Temporary
Transbay Terminal.
On the return trip, riders will board buses between 3 p.m. and 7
p.m. at the terminal. Those buses will go to West Oakland, where transfers
can be made to other buses heading to various East Bay destinations.
