Here we are. Day two of the BART strike.

Commuters all over the Bay Area have been forced to find different ways to travel throughout the region, causing employees who travel into San Francisco to deal with longer lines and longer commutes.

A Facebook user shared that it took his colleague three hours to travel 18 minutes.

Some are driving in slowed traffic, while others are dealing with long lines for ferries and buses. See what commuters are experiencing in the scroll box above.

Still, there are no new talks scheduled in the BART contract negotiations. Talks broke off at 8:30 p.m. Sunday with the two sides far apart on salary, benefits and safety issues.
