who gives? why is bart running 8 car trains during rush hour? The damn platform was made to handle 10 cars. I didn't pay to ride bart only to get packed like fucking sardines in an 8 car train. aaaaarrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

I'm trying to enjoy a quick nap on the train when I'm suddenly disturbed by these two young black males who are selling candy?
I've seen the same kids do this a few weeks ago. I would never buy candy from them because:
-they're definitely not at school like they should
-clothes are so dirty and ripped
-agressive approach

Maybe its being in such unusually close proximity to strangers, maybe its that I am either tired because it is early or tired from the day, maybe it's the air in the transbay tunnel... but I cannot believe how completely unacceptable some people's behavior on BART is. Like where do you live, and what happened to you as a child???
Examples:
-The guy sitting in a seat, cutting his own hair with clippers. I wanted to pee all over him. I mean he's leaving his body waste all over, why not see what it's like for everyonwe else?
-The lady who talks about INCREDIBLY personal issues very loudly on a cell phone. I don't want to know that your aunt is having complications with her diabetes, or that your sister just had her kids taken away by child protective services... and you are at the OTHER END of the car I am on. Psycho.

this website is a great idea. I like bart but I have some concerns too and I didn't realize lots out there feel the same way. I'm sure you are all in the same predicament as me. I need to use BART because overall it is a great way to get to work. The only thing that concerns me is the increase in riders because who wants to pay those high gas prices? Somehow I would assume bart will add more trains to accomodate the increase. Reading through the website I agree with what has been posted. It is sad to have a train full from the first 2 to 3 stops.
They need to add more trains running which means using our money to purchase them. I have a complaint about certain practices with bart management, they keep giving themselves big raises! You're the chief of bart and you make over $300K? How much more do you need? Isn't bart suppose to be part of government anyway? Why are they allowed to go on Strike? They are a public service.

I arrived at Dublin Pleasanton only to hear that there was a fire at San Leandro station. Due to this there wasn't any service from Fremont and Dublin. Only Fruitvale had service. I drove to Fruitvale only to be dealing with a mess of riders facing the same issue. At one point they made about 1000 riders go to the other platform which required going downstairs and crossover back upstairs. After everyone made their way to the other side, a BART employee came up and said they changed the platform! So here we go back to the other platform again! lol I just need to get back to work. They said buses were provided but it takes too long and they can only hold so many passengers.

Is it true that BART is going to run 24 hours on a weekend? If so, can someone fill me in? I think that is a great idea since I work on different shifts.

10 car Train is a bonus. I got on at Bayfair heading for San Francisco and it was nice to have a 10 car train. There lots of empty seats where it's usually not when it's an 8 car train. lol I never heard of the term "Bart Surfer" until a new member that goes by that name enlightened that to me. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's when you have to stand but you don't want to grab the dirty and nasty handrails, you just have to balance yourself and surf! I love that.
