Commuters took to Twitter to vent:
Just had to make reservations at hotel in SF for night before surgery, thanks to the #BARTStrike. Appreciate that, unions.

How’re people in the east bay getting into the city everyday with the Bart strike? I’ll be there this week and gotta figure stuff out.

For some, the BART strike isn’t all negative:

If there is just one perk because of the #BARTstrike, the Exploratorium isn't crowded.

So far, the BART strike's net effect on my life is that I'm spending more time with my girlfriend and I sleep better. Keep it up, unions!

Tragically, two people were killed during the strike while working on the tracks:
