my day at bart... foolishness

Submitted by bartish on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 10:35pm

i havent had a day on bart this eventful in a while. a picture is worth a thousand words, so they say.

first two pics are of a girl on the san francisco airport train. boarded at Rockridge at 9:30am. my god, does it get any ghetto-er than this? she had a metro cell phone, was playing music, the speaker was rattling, and she was dancing in her seat. i damn near called bart police because i thought she might be in some sort of medical distress. false alarm. she was just being ghetto. that tiny purse made it all the worse lol

third pic is of a woman on the fremont train (SRO) taking up THREE SEATS with her grocery outlet bags. note the bike wheel in the foreground. that man was resting his bike on my leg. until i pushed it off.

fourth and fifth pics are of a super-secret entrance i discovered at 12th street this evening. door was open but no one was there, then a chinese man emerges singing. is this the hideout of the bart janitors?

sixth pic is of a secret platform and door at lake merrit station. who or what lives in there?

seventh pic is of a bart cop at bayfair writing a guy a ticket for taking his bike up the escilator. i guess it does happen, despite what ive read on this site.

what is with the women

Submitted by boopiejones on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 8:54am.

what is with the women carrying 5 or 6 small bags on bart? and yes, they are ALWAYS female. everyday i see at least a couple ladies with a purse, breifcase, gymbag, soft-sided cooler and a trader joes brown paper handle bag struggling to get on a train. why not consolidate into one larger bag? or put your purse in the breifcase in the gymbag and your cooler into the trager joes bag? now you're down to two bags? or better yet, leave all your shit at home! i'll bet in the average day, you don't use more than 20% of the crap you bring along with you.

I'm with boopie. It is always women who have a billion bags with them, and usually those little handcart things to lug their crap around in. Sounds like your day was... adventurous.

To answer your questions, the little secret room you saw at 12th Street was a janitor's closet. Nothing exciting - just only the coolest, neatest, super-secret janitor's closet at BART.

Secondly, at Lake Merritt, I think there is some form of electrical circuits or something behind that door. I've seen the Power & Way folks offboard there a few times, but they need the Train Operator to key open the door. Never seen inside, though.

By the way Bartish - great pics. I can see how some of them were taken on the sly and some were not. Great Job. See pics do say a lot more than words sometimes.

Move over, rafa! LOL jk.

I can actually see bartish in the reflection in the TO cab window in the first pic! *gasp!*

I wonder how long it's gonna be until a pic of one of the passengers or employees that post on here ends up posted on here.

Hey, in the first two pics, it looks like she is staring right at you!
