Submitted by icrew on Wed, 03/10/2010 - 8:45pmA while back, I ran across the Undergound History-Disused Stations on London's Underground site, which shows a bunch of disused stations and other cool features of the London Underground system that everyday patrons wouldn't get to see.

Got a reserved parking ticket.... and I have a pass
Submitted by dordal on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 9:13pmGot a $40 citation today for parking in the reserved lot at BayFair station. It was neatly tucked under my windshield wiper... about two feet away from my yellow reserved parking sticker!
Go BART. Way to treat your loyal customers.

train stopped too far??
Submitted by donkeydong79 on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 8:18amSo I was waiting for a train yesterday and it was a 10 car and when it pulled into the station it overshot the floor marks by about 3 or four feet and then just sat there for a long time doing nothing.
Then after about 2-3 minutes of everybody looking around and going "WTF?" one of the station agents (?) got on the intercom and said that the train was "outside the station" and was going to leave without opening the doors and people got PISSED. like really really angry. one guy was all "ARGH!!" and started throwing his newspaper all over the place.

RR track at Bayfair station...
Submitted by transitgeek on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 2:32pmI've always wondered if the track on the western side of the station is active? Does anyone know? In addition to the various visions of a more integrated vibrant development around Bayfair station in the future, the possiblity of using existing tracks already adjacent would expand access to the bay area's other transit modes/agencies.
Embarcadero Station - 2/2/10
Submitted by cromom50 on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 6:28amWhat is up with the escalators in the station? Hopefully they have been fixed or turned on by now. Both escalators on the west side of the station are not working (at 5:45 a.m.) Then the street escalator on the north side (Front St) isn't working. Are the station agents asleep in their booth? Come on people, you have a job to do - turn on the frickin escalators when the stations open in the morning. I don't think that is too much to ask. I find it hard to believe that three escalators in the same station are broken at the same time.
