In which number one takes a break

BART workers are threatening a strike next week, which would throw Bay Area transit into utter disarray -- trebling commute times and creating incapacitating gridlock -- according to a BART-commissioned UC Berkeley study (original in PDF format). One of the assumptions: that the 155,000 riders who take the the Transbay Tube each rush hour would instead create instant gridlock by hopping into their cars and slugging it out over surface streets at 9 mph.

Lest I forget: BART is still proud to be the "number-one transit system" in this country (between the horus of 0600 and 0000, 0800 and 1100 Sundays and holidays).
