I didn't realize it until I arrived at the BART station & found it to be anywhere from 15% - 25% of normal. Not only was I taking an earlier train, but it was literally way less crowded than normal, even though I was on an earlier train. It also remained light throughout the trip into the city. Whether or not it's still as crowded as non-holiday must depend on where people live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-91196119120783107412007-10-08T11:35:00.000-07:002007-10-08T11:35:00.000-07:00The bart parking lots was emptier for me in Walnut...The bart parking lots was emptier for me in Walnut Creek but not by much.
