It was only a couple of weeks ago that some 150 protesters disrupted BART for at least two hours. Now, BART is again warning of possible protests and offers this info on its website:
Please be advised that protesters may attempt to disrupt BART service during the afternoon commute period on Mon., Aug. 22 in downtown San Francisco BART stations.
As always, BART’s primary mission is to ensure your safety and keep trains on-time. BART may need to close some stations temporarily or make other service adjustments on short notice.
Know your alternative transportation plans
Take some time now to plan your transportation options. Visit www.511.org for more information about alternative commute options.
Keep informed
BART will use its website, mobile website, text alerts, email alerts and Customer Services phone line to update you on any changes we may make to BART service. You should also consider www.511.org and the web, mobile, email and sms services provided there.

Reporting security, safety or hazardous issues
For urgent matters on BART dial 911, call (510) 464-7000, use the train intercom or contact a Station Agent. Here are additional useful numbers:
BART Police (non-emergency): 510-464-7000
San Francisco Police (emergency) 911 or 415-553-8090
A lot of good these links will do if BART shuts down cell phone service again.
Anyone know if these are continuations of the most recent protests or is it a new initiative?
