Yeah, thousands of people around the bay area and I can get to work today! From what I understand though, the union still has to vote on the newest contract so we're not out of the woods yet...
Darn, I was going to pee in my car, and charge 100 people $10 each to stand the whole way to SF. BART it is, then.
