Bart workers went on strike on July 1, 2013,<ref>http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_23571889/bart-strike-union-leaders-meeting-decide-whether-resume</ref> leaving 400,000 commuters trying to find alternate ways to get from the East Bay into San Francisco. Traffic was gridlocked during commute hours, with a routine 1 hour drive across the Oakland Bay bridge turning into 4 or 5 hours. Some Bart riders were able to take the AC Transit bus or the ferry service across the Bay, but it was a huge inconvenience for many. Governor [[Jerry Brown]] did not opt to impose a 60-day "cooling off period" as he had during the previous strike, saying that the end of the cooling off period would coincide with the planned closing of the Bay bridge to complete retrofitting work required after the [[Loma Prieta Earthquake]].
