And even though that’s estimated to be just 5 percent of the people who travel around the Bay Area every day, that will be enough to create commute chaos (or BARTocalypse, according to our super-intern Alex Emslie). Things will be especially tough in the BART-dependent East Bay. The best resource we’ve seen for transit alternatives is \u003ca href=\"http://alert.511.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">511.org’s BART Strike Info\u003c/a> page.

The chief effect would be to make the commute from the East Bay even more nightmarish than it will be with BART shut down. AC Transit reported Sunday there is some movement toward a settlement, and the agency’s board is set to meet late this afternoon in Oakland to discuss the contract situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[\u003ca href=\"//storify.com/danbrekke/bart-strike-deadline-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View the story “BART Strike Deadline Update” on Storify\u003c/a>]\u003c/p>\n\n",

The extra 1 percent pay per year that BART offered in the latest proposal is contingent, they said, on factors ranging from ambitious ridership increases and sales tax revenues to reductions in the number of employees seeking Family Medical Leave Act absences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the surface it looks like a raise,” (Antonette) Bryant (president of ATU Local 1555) said. “But it’s not really a raise.

And even though that’s estimated to be just 5 percent of the people who travel around the Bay Area every day, that will be enough to create commute chaos (or BARTocalypse, according to our super-intern Alex Emslie). Things will be especially tough in the BART-dependent East Bay.
