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.

To the BART Parker who hit my vehicle, YOU SUCK

Thanks alot.

I always leave a lot of space on both sides so you must have been drunk off your ass or backed into it.

NO BART SERVICE DUE TO COMPUTE PROBLEM?

According to SF Gate, Linton Johnson is telling everyone to find another way home? That bites. No one is here. Why aren't there buses going to East Bay? Major expletative! BART SO SUCKS.

$4.00 to Park at the New West Dublin Station

Guess WE HAVE to pay for the multi-million dollar overpass mistake. Disugsting.

BART BOARD ASKS DOROTHY DUGGER TO RESIGN | In 2009, Dorothy Dugger's salary was $354,010 a year

Doesn't this just make your day with the crappy BART service we get in this struggling economy that frigging B gets $354,010 to make multi-million errors like the overpass the Dublin/Pleasanton station for starters. GET RID OF THIS OLD BAG and get someone who can do the job instead of raising fares and decreasing service and paying herself a BIG FAT FEE. ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

What's going on at San Leandro; Why Is PBP Line Affected becuase of San Leandro Closure?

Thought I would take BART into work this morning. Show up at Walnut Creek at 7:50 a.m.; station closed. Station opens at 8:00 a.m., first train at 8:16 which arrives late. Should have drove to Orinda because there is one leaving Orinda at 8:05 a.m.

Robbery ON THE TRAIN at MacArthur Last NIght -- Hold on to your Laptops and Belongings

Of course no BPD on the train so the passengers went running after the robber. They had to shut down the power and it caused a delay in getting home because supposedly the robber went running onto the tracks. The guy behind me had such BAD BREATH I had to move; at least by MacArthur there was a seat to move to because BART insists on running five-car trains past 11:30 p.m.. When will BART get it and put officers on the trains? At least there should be an officer at MacArthur at midnight EVERY NIGHT. This crime would not have happened if there was police presence.

BART wants to reward riders now with an unexpected 5 million dollar surplus -- see link

http://www.contracostatimes.com/bay-area-news/ci_15081197

i vote for evening service to be restored to what it was, longer trains at midnight, and no new parking fees in the East Bay.

How can BART have an unexpected 5 million dollar surplus, when just last week, BART had a 10 million dollar deficit to address. Something is so not right (AS USUAL).

Thank You CONCORD STATION SCRUB CREW

I was amazed how clean the stairs were last night when I was walking down the stairs after disembarking the last train of the night. Some guy with his leg in a cast urinated all over them about a week ago because he couldn't make it down the stairs to the bathroom. Pretty disgusting. He did it in front of everybody.

You guys play great R&B while you work too. I always find it uplifting when I get off the train and hear your music.

FUCK BART FOR SCRATCHING THE 12:09 A.M. TO PITTSBURG

We need this train; the last train is always fucking late. ERGH! This is a HUGE inconvenience.

FEMALE A-A CONCORD STATION AGENT -- YOU ROCKED TODAY! TAKING ON ALL THOSE NASTY A-A DUDES OFF THE BUS

Boy, I couldn't tell who was fighting with whom. I got a great show of exactly what Station Agents put up with. This A-A woman today took on a group of at least 10 A-A dudes all bigger than her. I don't know who was fighting with whom but I was scared to go near the faregates. Despite the way they verbally abused and harrassed her, she won and got rid of them.

When I thought the coast was clear of them, I proceded to enter the gates wherein I was hit by a woman on a bicycle riding through the station; at least she said "sorry honey."

BARE FLOOR TRAINS and DRUNKS Do Not Go Together

Tonight they spilled Red Bull all over the floor. Well, you know what, that Red Bull trickles down the gray floor and gets soaked up by the passenger sitting in front of the spiller's pants. Real nice.

Tonight three people were wrestling on the train; they stuck their gum all over the bare floors and the seats; real nice.

Not fair to have other passenger's garments damaged by drunks on the train.

ONE MORE TIME, WHY DOESN"T BART PD EVER RIDE THE TRAINS? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DRUNKS ON THE TRAIN TONIGHT? I don't think much was going on; no Giants game as far as I could see.

TAKE A LOOK AND REMEMBER THE NAMES OF BART'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS -- LET'S GET THEM OUT ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEXT ELECTION, I HOPE BART EMPLOYEES WILL TELL ME WHO TO VOTE FOR

Whenever it's time to vote in BART management, I never really know whom I'm voting for other than from the literature I read that comes in the mail. I'm hoping for the next election, the BART employees will let us regular voters know whom to vote for in BART Management. I have sadly realized that all the literature I received in the mail is just a lie. BART's Board of Directors is pathetic. At least make some good come out of this upcoming strike and solve the strike problem once and for all by overhauling BART's top tier management system and getting rid of them.

THANKS PBP 11:09 P.M. T.O. for getting the man with a gun off our train

You were really on top of it. You guys fix the trains, put up with crying drunks, homeless, gangbangers, thugs, etc. You guys deserve a raise not cuts in your benefits and ALREADY inadequate retirement plan in today's dollars. I'd like to know what the BART Board and other BART management are giving up?
