BART Strike: Alternative Means of crossing the Bay

Despite reassurances that the public will receive plenty of warning before a possible BART strike, news reports indicate that a strike may be possible as early as tomorrow (Friday). I usually take my bike on BART to commute from San Francisco to the East Bay. The stop from which I disembark depends on how which route I'm riding that day, with the eventual destination being Hayward.

In case of a BART strike, I could take the NL line for AC Transit into downtown Oakland and ride from there but I am afraid that I may get bumped from the buses if they run out of bicycle capacity. I could also take the Ferry from SF to Oakland, but that is more expensive and takes considerably longer.

Has anyone here taken either options? Should I be worried about bicycle capacity on the buses? Are there any other options that I'm missing? Thanks.
