Does anyone else take BART to work? I was so worried that they were going to strike today. I hate driving to work, because there is always traffic heading home from downtown Oakland, plus parking is an arm and a leg. I had been getting up every two hours to check on the progress, and they finally came to a tentative agreement around 3am this morning. Anyway, just thought I'd share that with everyone in case they hadn't already heard the good news.

 

for those who dont know what bart is...
bay area railroad transport right?
i live in socal but I've riden on it once

Yes it is from princess mononoke, and it is a tree spirit.

 

Sorry, I should have clarified that. Its Bay Area Rapid Transit. I was too young to remember the effects of the strike in 97, but a lot of people I work with said it was really bad, and I've seen how gridlocked the entire Bay Area was on the news recap.

 

A BART strike gridlocks the Bay Area.

 

yea, i remember, people that headed to san francisco had to wake up a go to work 2-3 hours earlier. So people would actually start their commute from 4 in the morning til the rest of the day. Crazy!

I haven't been following up on this bart thing too much, but why were they going on strike again?

 

I'm thankful that they came to an agreement as I take BART to commute to work from SF to Oakland City Center every day. I certainly didn't want to take my weekend warrior (rx8) through congested traffic.
