BART Will Run Monday, Judge Blocks Strike for 60 Days

BART won’t be striking on Monday, or for the next two months, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Today a San Francisco Superior Court judge ordered a 60-day cooling-off period requested by Gov. Jerry Brown.

More from SFGate:

The order, which will stay in effect until midnight, Oct. 10, blocks any repeat of the 4 1/2-day walkout in early July that snarled traffic and disrupted the commute of hundreds of thousands of workers across the Bay Area.

The cooling off period expires on October 10.
