According to The Chronicle, union leaders said that they made progress in BART employee contract negotiations that lasted nearly eight hours and ended at 2:45 this morning. But progress didn’t solve the huge transportation mess that faced commuters across the Bay Area for the third day in a row.
By 7:30 a.m., traffic was gridlocked through the toll plaza, which opened at 5:25 a.m. And, like yesterday, hundreds of people waited in bus and ferry lines to get to jobs across the Bay.
Not sure what all of this is about? Here are seven things about the BART strike that might clear things up.
Negotiations are scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. today.
