BART Strike Expected Monday

BART service to SFO, and AirBART bus service to Oakland Airport among many disruptions expected next week

Late Thursday, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 155, which represents BART train operators and station agents, announced a BART strike will go forward at the close of the business Sunday night. The decision comes after several weeks of failed negotiations on a new contract.

Bay Area residents who rely on BART should start making alternate travel plans for next week.

SFO Riders Hardest Hit By BART Fare Increase

The recently approved BART rate hike takes effect July 1, and that means huge increases for BART riders to SFO. Systemwide, fares will spike 6.1%, an average of .30 cents per ride. But passengers using BART to SFO will be hardest hit. The one-way SFO premium charge currently set at $2.50 will jump to $4.00, that's in addition to the base fare. So come July 1, BART riders can expect to pay about $8.10 from downtown San Francisco to the airport.
