Transit officials are warning that a possible BART strike on Monday could tie up traffic throughout the Bay Area, including on the Bay Bridge and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
Patch editors have pulled together as much information as possible to help commuters in the event of a BART strike Monday. Check out these articles for specifics:
