What do you all think of the new possible updated seating for the new cars?
Submitted by sflover1989 on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 7:34pmWhat do you all think of the new possible updated seating for the new cars? I really don't think that it's enough seating. Let me know what you all think and what improvements can be made. I really think they should consider going for concept C.
Here is the link.

Would you all be happy with Configuration C or Configuration B for the new BART Cars?

Why doesn't BART report delays/Police actions?
Submitted by bartarded on Wed, 01/25/2012 - 11:25amA train I was on this morning got stuck at the 12th street station for about 20-30 minutes this morning because of a Police activity, while cops searched the train.
As far as I can tell, this delay wasn't reported ANYWHERE by BART.
Why are some delays reported, but others ignored?
Woman assaulted while boarding BART
Submitted by rcgal on Thu, 01/19/2012 - 8:56pmShe probably confronted line-cutters or something. I hope they get caught, but they probably won't.

How many BART employees does it take to (not) change a light bulb?
Submitted by joe001 on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 9:05pmWhy is it that I have never seen fewer than four employees changing a lightbulb on the platform? Today at Powell, there were three standing around, with one up a ladder staring at a socket. After a while, he walked down after not having done anything. After about a minute of (apparently) shooting the breeze, they slowly walked on to the next fixture. Perhaps they needed a fifth worker to go and fetch the bulb? (The last time I saw a similar scene at 12th St Oakland, there were four people standing around, and the one on the ladder was actually installing the bulb).

Chronic Parking tickets for paid spaces?
Submitted by Yosemite_Sam on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 9:25pmGood Evening,
Long read, bear with me.
I seem to have a problem with Bart Parking and I am wondering if it is just me?
Starting in 2005 I was getting parking tickets at the Walnut Creek Station, about 1 every other month starting in January. I knew I had paid so I starting keeping my little tickets after the second ticket. Fool me twice...
Shorter Richmond/Fremont Trains! Stop the insanity!
Submitted by RichmondFremontRage on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 8:59pmThe driver on my 6:00 PM Richmond train confirmed today that the Richmond line has been switched to five-car trains.
Prior to the New Year, I noticed that afternoon Richmond trains during the rush were suddenly five, not six-car trains. Not good. Recently, given the number of people on the Richmond line, it seemed like a seven-car train might actually be more helpful during the evening rush.
Please send email protesting pre-tax commuter benefits reduction from $230 to $125 by Congress by sending letter to below link
Submitted by bart_rider on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 4:33pmhttp://www.commuterbenefitsworkforus.com/
Further Details below:
New National Effort Urges Congress to Take Action to Extend the $230 Pre-Tax Transit Limit
Just as with last year, Congress has again delayed any action on an extension to the $230 pre-tax transit limit that went into effect in early 2009. If Congress does not act in 2011, the transit limit will be reduced to $125 month on January 1, 2012, and any election amount over $125 should be deducted from a participant’s pay on an after-tax basis.

Dog poop on BART - Stations, trains and on the seats - What can we do?
Submitted by douggg on Sun, 12/25/2011 - 12:39pmWhat's BART's current policy with dogs on BART?
Last Friday I was at Balboa Park station where a dog took a dump on the edge of the platform where the train doors open. The owner of the dog left with the dog leaving the poop. People entering/exiting the train werent' expecting it and stepped in the feces tracking it into trains and across the station platform and onto the escalator. I am a regular BART rider and do not want step in dog poop or sit on a seat which might be soiled with dog poop. (By the way this was NOT a service animal.)
Cutting lines
Submitted by SpamAllULike on Wed, 12/14/2011 - 12:22pmYou've seen them. You arrive just perfectly slightly ahead of time with 2 minutes until your train comes.
You line up, probably behind one or two guys. Chances are they aren't even lining up for YOUR train but the train after that (but I'll save that for another post). So you stand behind them.
After some repetitive useless screen-saver garbage scrolls off, 1 minutes left.
THEN. Just then.
Some asshat walks up to the front of the line and stands next to the guy at the front. Oh no. Standing in front of that guy would be too obvious, so he stands next to him.
I may have caught something on BART
Submitted by Patdeez on Wed, 12/14/2011 - 1:34amOr maybe he didn't want to catch what I got.

Gonna miss this guy
Submitted by rafa1215 on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 11:07pmI talked to the guy a few times when I was going home from work at the Montgomery station about 3 or 4 years ago. I remember him being very nice and didn't mind chatting a bit. He had a great singing voice.
