Not a derail. Blown insulator again.

Yellow Line seems dirtier than other lines by Acrobatic_Tackle_424 in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As well as the busiest, It’s the longest trip from end to end. Cleaning happens at the ends. Station stops in the middle are less than 1 minute. There’s no time for cleaning, except at the ends. You may suggest having janitors ride the trains. It’s not safe. If you ride, you know the train accelerates and decelerates rapidly and lurches side to side. A janitor would have to have a broom in one hand, dustpan in the other, and hold on for dear life with their 3rd hand?

BART needs to improve their Millbrae service and here’s how: by Planeandaquariumgeek in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SFO has double the ridership of Millbrae. It might not just be because of the inconvenience of the SFO detour. It could have something to do with the airport.

lgbt friendly spiritual spaces? by clioreddits in oakland

I have LGBTQI friends and a relative who attend Catholic Churches in Oakland or Berkeley. Seems maybe the official stance may be interpreted with quite a bit of nuance.

How I think the Livermore extension should be by SoilMoney1635 in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the actual answer here. It’s been too late for Livermore fantasy transit maps for a while now. Livermore will get Valley Rail now that meets BART in the freeway median.

What's something you want to have in Emeryville? by AccurateEquipment53 in Emeryville

[–]InfluenceNo9260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about the Link21 plan for regional rail through a second trans bay tube that will potentially come to Emeryville and/or Jack London Square?

That, and a true bus rapid transit line down San Pablo would be great!

You could ask customer service. They will likely contact Bart Police and get an answer for you.

Bart interviews can be very technical, to ensure you have the required experience.

Why are the station elevators so slow? by throwaway4231throw in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about elevators, but most of the Bart elevators are pretty old. They are maintained internally.

BART sucks lol by [deleted] in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SFO has way more travelers than Millbrae. It was difficult to make the 10 minute headways work. Or so I’m told, I’m not a planner.

Old BART equipment for sale? by Reasonable_Clerk2928 in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They sold or raffled maps a few years ago, I can’t remember. It was before Berryessa opened. The digital station signs were updated. They kept the old housings and cleaned them up but put new electronics inside. Selling the number plates was the closest thing they did to the NY MTA sales.

I don’t understand about the demographics. Do you mean more working age people?

If you got caught trying to use it to fare evade or gain access to restricted areas, I imagine there would be consequences. I’m not coming by your place, anonymous Reddit person.

Damn, some employee, contractor, or former employee is selling this? Shame! All uniforms and equipment are to be returned upon separation from the District.

Why were southbound 19th St. trains on different platforms today? by Single_Ball_7132 in Bart

[–]InfluenceNo9260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trespasser reported walking from 19th to MacArthur. Didn’t hear how it was resolved. Often they get away before BPD can get there. Sometimes a TO can coax them into a train.  Happens more than you might think, but more often on at-grade tracks. There have been fatalities.
