The BART Strike Survival Guide: Extra Ferry Service, Carpooling, Transbay Bus Service

Patch editors have pulled together as much information as possible to help commuters in the event of a BART strike Monday. Check these articles for specifics:

Need a ride to the East Bay from San Francisco after work? Check out these new casual carpool locations on Spear and Beale streets to get you where you want to go.  

Going to SFO? Grab a free shuttle from the Millbrae Caltrain station. 

Park for free in BART lots during the strike! Use them to coordinate your casual carpool, BART officials suggest. If you hold a parking pass, never fear -- you will be reimbursed for each day of the strike. 

BART will provide charter bus service to San Francisco from the Fremont, East Dublin/Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and El Cerrito del Norte BART stations, beginning at 5 a.m. This bus service will only be able to accomodate between 2,000 and 4,000 riders a day each way.

SF Bay Ferry plans to use all available vessels and extend service hours.

Locations, tips and "etiquette" for the new carpooler.
