The BART strike was over as of 3:00 p.m. today. BART and AC Transit customers alike, as well as AC Transit bus operators and other staff, are certainly relieved. It’s been a rough week for everyone.
AC Transit extends a special thank you to our regular passengers for patiently dealing with overcrowded buses, long lines at bus stops, and the general uncertainty. No doubt many riders assisted displaced BART customers in getting where they needed to go, and we appreciate their helpfulness. We also commend BART riders, who under trying circumstances quickly learned their transit options and tried new modes.
Please also note that as of 3:00 p.m., buses that were stopping outside BART stations at temporary stops during the strike have returned to their regular stops on station property.
