Remember the BART strike of September 1997? Which lasted an entire week? Turning into a nightmare. Well, what with BART officially announcing a strike, you should get ready for more of the same come Sunday night.

charter buses
Zipcar
CityCar Share
rideshare
telecommute
ferry ride
bicycle
walk
call-in sick
curl up in fetal position, cry

We'll have more updates on alternative methods. Stay tuned.
