It sounds like there is a luggage problem. Great planning california! Trains to and from the airport with no place for luggage, only in America. I hope none of the complainers EVER set anything on a seat. And by the way, if there is luggage in a seat it isn't "empty" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-31852568224141742882008-08-07T21:47:00.000-07:002008-08-07T21:47:00.000-07:00miss lulu extraordinare-- welcome to SF. i think ...miss lulu extraordinare-- welcome to SF. i think the best thing for you to do is put your luggage near the open space and area by the train doors, while sitting as close to it as possible. good luck! have fun in SF!bartmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327844700926513435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-20207944496589536672008-08-07T19:27:00.000-07:002008-08-07T19:27:00.000-07:00Hey!, I'm planning to travel to SF in a couple of ...Hey!, I'm planning to travel to SF in a couple of weeks and I'm interested in using the BART service to get from the airport to my hotel (Civic Center Station).

However, I also don't understand the bike people who sit in one of a pair of seats with the other vacant and their bike blocking access to the vacant seat. Not a problem if a train is mostly empty, but if not, stand with your bike next to the door on the side that won't open for awhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-48542985394410810912008-04-01T07:51:00.000-07:002008-04-01T07:51:00.000-07:00How long was your train?

But, on Fridays, there are the turnback trains that don't get the luggage. Just wait 5 or 10 minutes for a train that hasn't been to SFO. <BR/><BR/>Send a comment card to BART, or write your board member. BART needs to look at the high-luggage days as another event train situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-57290725208317430552008-03-31T11:47:00.000-07:002008-03-31T11:47:00.000-07:00"Where am I going to put all this?""Gee, last time...<I>"Where am I going to put all this?"</I><BR/><BR/>"Gee, last time I checked, the floor wasn't just a hallucination.

The problems that I described in this particular blog entry have to do with passenger etiquette and of course I don't expect BART to solve that, but there are little improvements that can be made around the car to fit more suitcases.bartmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327844700926513435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-76185178993860000592008-03-30T09:43:00.000-07:002008-03-30T09:43:00.000-07:00What is your solution to this "problem" on BART? I...What is your solution to this "problem" on BART? I mean we can all sit here and nick pick and complain as riders, but do we ourselves have any solution on how to rectify the problem? You can't limit the hours of luggage on cars. You can't keep luggage out of the first car. So what is the solution?<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, placing luggage or any other non-human entity in a seat on a crush loaded train is rude, but unfortunately that is the mentality of some riders, both experienced and new. As you mentioned, if it were me, I would be standing or pushing my suitcase (if it fit) under the seat.<BR/><BR/>I don't have any solution to this problem. When I was flying weekly, I could fit everything into one suitcase that slide nicely under my seat (if I had one), Coliseum to Pleasant Hill.<BR/><BR/>With as little ridership on the line from Daly City south, I don't think anything is going to be done. All daily riders will have to deal with this problem. Maybe BART, if and when they get new cars will develop a luggage only car in the trains that go to the airport. Doubtful, but we can always dream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
