This is the second time we’ve seen this and I still do a double-take. You belong on tracks!! Calling #AAA for #SFBART … Are there people stuck in there…?
I am probably not going to make this myself, but I went to the "last regularly scheduled run" a few months ago, and it was a fun fairwell party. Cool to hang out and ride with a couple hundred folks who are into transit and/or #SFBA heritage. #sfbart
"Before high school, Flaherty rarely took BART alone. He grew up in the Bay Area, but he used BART mostly for trips to San Francisco – to see the Nutcracker or go to the symphony, for example. Now he takes it pretty much every day, whether it’s going to school or hanging out with friends or, most frequently, to discover a new spot for taking photos."
"'BART matters to me because it gives me agency and decision-making power, while reminding me that I'm part of a larger system,' she said. 'Sometimes, you get to a station and the train has just departed, and it reminds you that you’re one cog in a way bigger wheel.' Lomanto finds comfort in that."
"If you're in the last train car, then be prepared for exotic smokes, loud music, and rude behavior.
If you do not feel ready for this, just get up and move to the next car without tattle-telling. Please." #SanFrancisco#SFBART
just watched #TunnelVision, the unauthorized #SFBART film. Highly recommend. Even my suburbanite friend who BARTed in from South City loved it. There's tickets available for a matinee this Saturday and an encore showing a week from tomorrow. https://roxie.com/film/tunnel-vision/
BART is spending $90m on harder to jump fare gates, while raising fares to bring in an extra $23m it needs. The funding source could just be, don't install new fare gates.
I sympathize with the jumpers: BART fares are extremely high relative to peer systems like DC's Metro (which is $6 max, and $2 flat fare nights/weekends). At a time of low ridership, it's frustrating to see #SFBART spend money to keep people off the trains.
@kyleve@skinnylatte anybody who lives in or loves #sfba needs to look at Vincent Woo’s documentary “Tunnel Vision”! Glad to see he was on this Forum episode. Hey, #SFBART, get him to visually document all of the lines not just the yellow line from SFO to Pittsburg/Bay Point.
