A lot of these types of people rely on intimidation to get away with their shenanigans, so being able to subtly report the issue is helpful.<BR/><BR/>I really hope that BART comes to realize that the free rides all-day really does more harm than good in the eyes of their regular riders. Make rides free in the morning, or give us a free ride credit on our EZ Rider card...<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, my BART ride yesterday was smoother in both directions than I can recall in recent memory. Trains were fairly crowded, but seemed to be very timely. This morning was also very smooth. I hope that they keep up the good work.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703513987899992771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-16319235867282987732007-04-30T15:11:00.000-07:002007-04-30T15:11:00.000-07:00Good idea.

These are the kind of folks that BART police would like to meet. Tonight, I'm going to have my cell ready because last spare the air day, a couple of drunks threatened a bunch of passengers and no one did anything, including the station agent I called on the white courtesy phone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-55003136507601235562007-04-30T11:27:00.000-07:002007-04-30T11:27:00.000-07:00the words "free" can bring out all types in societ...the words "free" can bring out all types in society. watch out. these a**holes on the train this morning sound like people fun. when BART is free, they should beef up security on the trains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-7215590671849407472007-04-30T10:42:00.000-07:002007-04-30T10:42:00.000-07:00How charming.

I know it was awfully regressive of me, but after the first free BART "Spare the Air" day I made it a point to drive instead of take transit on future free days. Something about "free BART" that turns marginally civilized trains into rolling asshole conventions.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251172716768837048noreply@blogger.com
