Train doors at commute time
Another dumbass-rider jammed the doors into the wells last night during commute. When the train operator announces the train is out of service.....GET OFF THE TRAIN! Don't try to sweet talk your way out of the embarrassment of screwing the train up!
They need to move the train out of the way so you can jam yourselves into that train. That makes all of those on the Daly City bound train at commute time last night and wouldn't get off..... Dumbass riders of the Day!
Your kind cooperation is appreciated:)

Another asshole broke a train this morning at 16th & Mission. Jeez, c'mon people.
Any pics of the idiot who broke the doors last night?

Is it possible to send an idea to the higher ups to put stickers on the doors saying not to jam or force them open? That could possibly be put in with the regular basis announcements on the station's PA systems too.
Maybe even create a citation for doing that. Just thinking of possible solutions.

not a bad idea, but i still prefer the razorblades in place of the rubber weatherstripping idea.
Nice idea but that would
Nice idea but that would still cause delays as they'd then have to close the platform due to a medical emergency. Probably put the train out of service too as they'd want to clean up all the blood. ;)
Maybe electrify the edges like an electric fence. That way they might come to in time to board the next train...
Actually, that depends on
Actually, that depends on how much power is on there. Too much will kill the passenger. A 120V Electrical outlet can kill you. But it's not really the voltage that kills you, it's the amps. But in the case of the 3rd rail, you're dead no matter what unit of power it is.
No one cares, as long as the
No one cares, as long as the masses do not complain, nothing will ever change. The police are at Starbucks, with management.
I had officers in Dublin tell me that BART cops are paid so much, they would like to be one of them. Then they do so little.
The public needs to demand work out of the people they employ.

Um, have you ever had to
Um, have you ever had to call the BART Police? If you have, you'd know BPD's response time is among the best of all the Bay Area's law enforcement agencies. What's the average response time for BART Police? Do you know? It's about 4.25 minutes. Yep, four minutes and fifteen seconds. Try calling SFPD, Oakland Police, CoCo Sheriff, or anyone. See if they can have Officers there in under five minutes.
BART Police actively protect stations and trains. You might not see them. That's the point if they are undercover. I'm guessin' you've had a bad experience with BART Police (a citation, perhaps?) and now generalize out of your hatred towards BPD.

If they (BART police) were visible when on the job, I would agree with you. Where are they when passengers vandilize the cars, have their feet up on the seats, eat while on cars, fail to yield seating to handicapped and elderly passengers?
Since BART police have so little to do, and are paid so much, wouldn't they be expected to respond quickly?
Are you kidding me?

When you say "jammed the doors into the wells" do you mean they forced the door open or pushed it out?
I've got a... smartass, no
I've got a... smartass, no wait, that's just as bad... semi-intelligent? rider of the day story for ya!
Well, ok, so it's not much of a story, but I can babble on and make it seem longer...?
Yesterday evening I was in Embarcadero and when the Pitts/Bay Point train came it was too crowded so I decided to ride back a few stations and try to get a seat. T/O announces doors are closing, *BING* goes the little bell (chime? door_closing.mp3?) and here comes a guy and a girl.
Now, they're close enough that there's no way in HELL they didn't hear the bing. I mean, he was ALMOST in the doorway when the bing sounded. But they're in no apparent rush... walking as though they have all the time in the world. The doors start to close as he's between them (time from bing to time to door close? 1.25 seconds. guess we were in a rush) so Einstein finally realizes *oh, the doors are closing* and hustles through. The lady he was with was 1/2 step behind and manages to get her HAND in the door, he grabs the doors with HIS hands (like he's gonna pry them open)... I'm standing right across from the doors, in front of the other set and she and I make eye contact. I'd like to think it was disapproving look that made her withdraw her hand but it may just be that she (and he. he actually DIDN'T attempt to pry the doors open, but then again, he didn't seem the type if ya know what I mean - instead he did the turn and giggle, looking for someone to giggle with him over his predicament) weren't completely D-RODs (like my new word? you can use it but I expect royalties).
You gotta love that
You gotta love that disapproving look. I know exactly the one. I give it to people all the time, and there's hardly a doubt in their mind that if they continue doing [INSERT ACTION] they'll be in trouble.
D-ROD... nice word. What are royalties? A tiny ticket per use?
Tiny ticket?
Tiny ticket? gahhhhhhhhhh!!! I keep hoping I can save them up and turn them in for a prize, you know, like collecting tickets from playing games...? How many tiny tickets until I can get a BART train-shaped eraser? Ohh oooh, or maybe an honorary BART police badge!! *looks at Shrapnel Approvingly*
I was flying not too long
I was flying not too long ago, chatting it up with a flight attendant (damn... turned out he was gay) and he offered to trade his wings for a badge. LOL!
Sorry, Spice, but I'd take the flight attendant wings before I take a pile of tiny tickets.
Shrapnel, c'mon... work with
Shrapnel, c'mon... work with me here. Male. Flight attendant? HELLO!
*ducks before he gets slammed for stereotyping*
*then goes off in search of the JetBlue wings his kid got*
seriously shrapnel - you
seriously shrapnel - you must have had a few too many drinks on this flight if your gaydar was so badly broken that you couldn't instantly tell he was gay. i don't think i have ever seen a male flight attendant that wasn't flaming gay.
if something holds true 99% of the time, is it really a stereotype?

I concider any behavior in which over 50% of the folks have as Stereotypical behavior (or when a behavior is typically acted by a certain type of individual)..
Only people that don't fall into their stereotypes, don't like people that stereotype.. Or they are of that stereotype and are embarrassed that they fall into it..
