Please don't River Dance on the Yellow Strip For the oh so happy couple who were dancing on the yellow safety strip at Embarcadero platform #2 this evening. You delayed the train because we had to hold outside the station until you listened to the over head announcents. Your thought-less actions delayed several hundred passangers. |

I also hate it when idiots
I also hate it when idiots delay the system by refusing to get the hell off the yellow strip, but BART's management needs to hire some designers to put better signage in all the stations.
While anyone with half a brain can figure out what the yellow strip is for, it's become obvious that a lot of BART's riders are working with just 1/3, or even 1/4 of a brain.
When putting together a system like BART, it needs to be assumed that the average patron is both stupid, and virtually illiterate. Unfortunately many features of BART are not well-marked or explained, and navigating BART is almost impossible for a non-English speaker.
I still cannot understand why, in a metro area where there is so much diversity and so many different languages are spoken, every system map in every station I have ever been in is in English only.
Well, MASTER B its something
Well, MASTER B its something you should have learned in High School, but being from UC I wouldnt expect anything more, its about MONEY, and BART aint got none.
Thanks for the bad attitude.
Thanks for the bad attitude. It's very helpful.
I guess they must not have taught you how to be polite at your High School.
I understand that such upgrades cost money, "sick of it", what I am suggesting is that money should be set aside to update/improve the station signage and generally renovate the stations.
If money can be set aside to update the trains and expand the system, it can also be set aside to update the stations, and doing so would help reduce confusion and improve efficiency.

I love those people. I also love the people who stand in the doorways so they can hold the train up for their friend. Or one time a couple of teenage girls stood in a doorway so she could scream her number to some teenaged guys who was flirting with them.
Tuesday night I watched someone gesticulating through a door. All I saw was the person's hands. I *think* the person was trying to direct someone else waiting on the platform, but the hand dancing prevented the doors from closing, obviously.
I hate those people who try
I hate those people who try to sneak into the trains when the doors are closing and end up jamming them. Two such times when i was there, such nut jobs have broken the train doors from closing and once that train had to be taken out of service. What's with these shitheads?
Also the people who aren't
Also the people who aren't paying attention and forget that they're at their stop and then suddenly jump up and dash to the doors and wedge themselves in there just as they're closing.
Not to mention giving those
Not to mention giving those people who have now moved to the doorways to be in position at the next stop a dirty look (or running over people getting on the train when they thought it was clear). One woman shoved some people out of the way one night at the last minute, seriously, snarling at them. I simply hollered after her "yeah princess, it's OUR fault you weren't paying attention!"
Then you get the nice people who for whatever reason realize at the last minute they're at their stop and say, "excuse me, excuse me, so sorry" when exiting at the last minute.

A couple months ago I saw a guy at Powell Street actually kick a 12 year old girl for not getting out of his way fast enough when he was walking up the escalator on the left side. Kid wasn't being a punk or anything, she just obviously didn't know the way BART's escalators are generally used.
Idiots staggering on the
Idiots staggering on the yellow strip almost falling onto the tracks has been happening every night at Montgomery. these guys started partying a week before the 4th and still haven't stopped yet. how can people drink that much, yuck! what's cheaper, BPD or a wrongful death suit because of some drunk falling into a train's path.
These drunk people hold the entire dam train up when they do that because the operator has to pull it into the station on manual.
I also love these five car trains with people thinking they bought four seats one for them and three for their luggage.
Yesterday, a woman tries to move out of her seat to make room for a guy in a wheelchair. There is a guy with his barefeet on the handicapped seats and he would even move them so she could sit down after she gave up her seat for the wheelchair.
Has alot of gel in his hair but it most of froze brain when it comes to manners and etiquette.
Feet on seats - one of my
Feet on seats - one of my peeves. Thanks - I'm dying to sit down where your frickin' dirty shoes have been.
