I am moving to 1 of those areas & was wondering how the parking scene is there in the mornings? I heard Mc Arthur is full by 7:30AM. Also, do they have monthly parkng avail??

Thanx.

I get so annoyed when people use the grab rail by leaning their entire body to it. Asswipes, share it with others!

Feel free to add your own if necissary.

#1. Please be courteous to others.

#2. Please do not put your feet on the seats of the trains. I'm pretty sure you've stepped in something disgusting during the course of the day, so please think about others that have to sit in that same seat you put your shoes on.

#3. If you see train doors open, HUSTLE. You do not know how long the doors have been open, or how much longer they will remain open. If my doors are open and it's time for me to go, if I see you walking, taking your sweet time and not making an effort to get on my train, I will close doors on you faster than you can say "hold on". No hustle, no reward. Now if I see you hustling, and you don't make it, I'll reward you with a courtesy door cycle for your effort.

You are straight up a sicko. Why the hell are you picking your nose while you were sitting on the Senior
Citizen seat? Did you think we didn't notice you? You moved your left hand all over your face trying to be inconspicous but then you picked your nose and flicked your booger! Ever heard of a napkin or tissue? Next time pick your nose before you get onboard or at least save us all from getting grossed out!

Don't complain about someth

For starters, the weekend that BART ran overnight service (Oct 15-16) was a bust. In those two nights, BART only carried about 9200 passengers, that created 25,300 dollars in revenue. It cost BART about 200,000 dollars to run the overnight service that weekend. Do the math there. So basically, it's not worth running 24Hr service because there obviously isn't enough demand for it, evidenced by that weekend.

Secondly, BART service usually ends at midnight and resumes at 6 a.m. on Saturdays and at 8 a.m. on Sundays so employees can perform critical maintenance work. All the work that keeps the system running relatively smooth during the day is done at night, and can only be performed while the system is shut down.

Thank you for your professionalism this morning. You announced every stop. LOL most of the time I fall asleep and it helps when you announce the current station. Thanks and keep up the good work.

By now, you should know that BART had a severe delay in service. It was something about a mechanical failure which caused a fire to start. Not clear exactly on the details.

I just remembered how nasty some people are on BART. This guy I saw wiped his runny nose with his hand and then grabbed the rails before getting out. Please can you be civilized and bring something to wipe your nasty self, you are spreading your diseases to everyone else!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so stick with me here, I like the coincidence, synchronicity or however you want to categorize it.
I moved to the area, and became a frequent BART rider. I realize that there were certain rules that everyone needed to follow like no smoking, giving up seats by the door for those who need it etc.
The rule about eating I figure is a litter, and consequently a hygiene and health issue. Of course, if one is responsible, there's no reason we shouldn't be allowed to eat as long as we pick up after ourselves. I thought it's a rule simply because a few lame people ruin it for everyone.
Now without a subtle segue, September 11, 2001 has changed our freedom (real freedom, not George W. Bush religious morals/trademarked greedom) and we've had to adhere to restrictions on freedoms because a few assholes. This is a more violent, ignorant and spiteful version of the same idea filled with malice. Now we've given up more liberties more profound and restrictive due to only a few.
