SamTrans and Caltrain Prepare for Possible BART Strike
A BART strike will likely increase demand on SamTrans and Caltrain. Commuters are
encouraged, whenever possible, to use alternatives such as carpools, flexible work hours
or telecommuting.
In the event of a strike, Caltrain will add cars to key trains to increase capacity.
Caltrain and SamTrans will continue to serve the Millbrae Intermodal Station. Parking
garages at all BART stations will be open for commuters wishing to use them as park and
ride lots.
In order to assist passengers heading to San Francisco International Airport, Routes 292
and KX, which serve the airport, will be rerouted to serve the Millbrae Intermodal
Station. Northbound buses will serve bus bay 3; southbound buses will serve bus bay 10.
SamTrans will establish a temporary transfer point in Daly City, where riders will be
able to connect with SamTrans Routes 390 and 391 and San Francisco Muni 14. Route 390
will be modified to serve this transfer point. A free shuttle will connect temporary
bus stops near the Colma BART Station and the Daly City BART Station to the transfer
point. The shuttle will operate weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m and again from 3 p.m. to 7
p.m.
The temporary bus stop for the Colma BART Station will be located in the Colma Park and
Ride lot located just west of the station. The temporary bus stop for the Daly City
BART Station will be located on De Long Street. The transfer point will be located at
Mission and Crocker streets in the northbound direction and Mission and Goethe streets
in the southbound direction.
SamTrans will reroute buses to serve temporary stops just outside all other San Mateo
County BART stations.
South San Francisco BART Station
Routes 122 and 133 will serve a temporary bus stop on El Camino Real and Lawndale
Boulevard. Routes 130 and 132 will serve a temporary stop on Mission Road and Evergreen
Drive.
San Bruno BART Station
All buses will serve temporary bus stops on Sneath Lane and huntington Avenue.
For route information, call 1-800-660-4287 or (TTY only) 508-6448.
