(For full schedules during a strike check here.) Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at each station. People without a round-trip ticket will not be allowed to board in San Francisco to return to the East Bay in the evening. In the event a strike continues into the weekend, BART will have three buses at each of the stations named above and will offer limited round-trip direct service into San Francisco in the morning and then back in the afternoon/evening: Saturday buses will run from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m; Sunday buses will run from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
