Does anyone know if anyone within BART management read the complaints on this site? Assuming they have the capacity to read...

Has anyone ever brought in excerpts from this site to any meetings?

If BART was smart...again assuming, they would have someone read the complaints on this site, or open up a comments section on their own web site.

Not sure it would work, but at least it is a start.

He is so funny. He is always making these comments about the weather and where we are going. He speaks just loud enough to hear him but not too loud. He sounds like a real fun guy. He went on this bit this AM about how there will not be drink service as there are no flight attendants on BART, corny I know, but such a breath of fresh air compared teh 99% of operators that mumble all the time

The escalators that exit to Grove Street at the Civic Center have been down for more than a month now. The down escalator was barricaded for about three weeks. That down side is running again, but now the up side is dead. The other day, the escalator from the platform was also down.
I really don't understand why it's taking so long to repair this particular set of escalators.
Maybe they give it more attention when someone has a heart attack from climbing the step of two dead escalators.

Tomorrow, Thursday June 22, is a Spare the Air Day in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ground-level ozone air pollution is forecast to exceed 100 AQI (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups) tomorrow.

Mañana es un día "Spare the Air." Por favor, maneje su carro lo menos posible mañana.

The Air District, MTC, buses, ferries, and BART are offering FREE commutes all day on this first "Spare the Air" weekday! For details, go to http://www.511.org.

To help prevent smog tomorrow, please:
- Drive less, bike or walk
- Take public transit - visit 511.org to plan your trip!
- Carpool or vanpool

You know I can live with all the cost increases, all the loud jerks, all the horrible service, all of the delays but do you really know what pisses me off?

Because in the utter cheapness BART refuses to run bigger trains which means almost every commute home I have I have to stand. That would be bad enough, but the other day it was super crowded, hot and I was wearing heals. I was packed in between two big stinky guys and the one behind be kept accidentally rubbing his fucking pelvis against my ass the whole fucking way. Even when I said something he just smirked and said "its crowed". I mean really?!?!? Why do I have to be fucking felt up just to get home?? FUCK makes me want to move so bad.

Someone "obstructed" the tracks between daly city and balboa park. Which caused an hour delay for me getting into downtown SF. The good news was that there were at least 50 fireman and cops that showed up in a span of five minutes.

I hear every once in a while people complain about the operator not re-openign doors fro them when the operator saw them. Well being a operator let me expalin this. once the doors start closing they received teh commad todo so about 3 or 4 seconds prior. and to re open them the operator has to take train out of automatic, at that point anything that happens falls in the operators lap cause he does not have the prtotection he does in automatic. Sp please dont curse the operator out but please try to be on time in the future

Bart, if you are reading this please fix the monitor at the San Bruno Bart station. This is the monitor that is facing Target. It has been broken(not turned on) for three months now. This monitor was a great help in showing me where my train was on the Bart map.

Well folks, this morning on a 7:30am commute. This lady had her cell phone ringer set to play a song. Little did everyone know that it was actually her playing a song using her cell phone. It was not a ringtone. The funny part was she did not care who or what anyone thought. I was about to say something but I wanted to test out if it's true that riders don't do anything. I was about 5 to 7 passengers away from her and it was loud. I couldn't imagine the ones sitting close to her didn't say a damn thing. They just kept making dirty looks at her and she didn't give a rats ass.

I was close to calling on the intercom but I wanted to see.

He was on the fucking train again Saturday! Same M.O.--whiny pleading for 75 cents for the homeless.

Congrats on the upgrade. Nicer graphics; nicer colors/contrast. I even like the arrows that resemble the arrows on the bart gates.

Like most people who live in the Bay Area, I cannot afford to live where I work. This situation has resulted in me living out in Tracy so I could own a nice family home for my family. I've done the commute enough to know that driving is by far the last resort. If you guys aren't familiar with ACE train out in the Central Valley, it's basically like CalTrain. You can view ACE at:

There are so many differences between ACE and BART. For one, ACE is very very clean. There are some simple rules on ACE that preserve the condition of their cars.
Here are some significant differences between the two systems.

On Craigslist they are talking about some kid who allegedly got
a beat down from BART POLICE. No one seems to know what the kid did, but
he got a beat down for no reason and people want BART Cop blood for
whatever reason? They want witnessess, etc..etc..

So what did this kid do? I guess some lady didn't agree with how BART PD
handled the situation so she figures the BART PD must me racist and that
they should pay for their actions; however, she has not clue why he was
being arrested.

What the hell? If BART PD is doing their job, more power to them, let them do it
without someone trying to "Monday morning quarterback" the situation.
