	The BART strike turned up the pressure on what was already a smoggy September in the Bay Area. Daily newspapers slammed the "greedy" strikers, claiming that they were already pulling in over $40,000 a year, while tens of thousands of workers around the bay found their workdays extended by 2 hours at both commuting ends as they tried to make do without the essential rail artery. Many people couldn't help but get angry at the BART workers, given their relatively good wages and easy jobs compared to the common under-$10-an-hour jobs held by most. At least this was the story repeated ad nauseum by the entertainment/"news" companies. BART's bloated management salaries and top-heavy bureaucracy, combined with incessant and unnecessary expansion projects which run up billions in annual expenditures (and forced a 45% increase in fares in the past 3 years) all disappeared from the public eye as the wrath of the corporate media was directed at the "greedy" strikers.

	The embrace of bike commuting and self-propelled alternative transit was conspicuously absent from news reports on the BART strike and people's attempts to cope. If six hardy souls hadn't ridden across the Bay Bridge during an evening commute, getting arrested and charged (briefly) with felonious conspiracy (within two days all charges were reduced to a traffic infraction), bicycling may have never been mentioned during the BART strike.
