That's why all places which sell food are in the "free" areas of the station. (Including the Papa Murphy's pick up where you can pick up a pizza on the way out in the evening.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-10808812366031947692007-12-01T05:30:00.000-08:002007-12-01T05:30:00.000-08:00What I don't understand is why anyone would WANT t...What I don't understand is why anyone would WANT to east on BART. The way I see it, eating on BART is only a step or two above eating in a bathroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-70005256071933950372007-11-30T13:38:00.000-08:002007-11-30T13:38:00.000-08:00I don't know.

However as I am 17 weeks pregnant, there are days I have to have my lollipop or Jamba Juice to settle my morning sickness, or at least hold back getting sick from the smells on a trip at times. Maybe it’s discrimination but there are some people I don’t mind having “food” on the train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-33105793601615892542007-11-30T10:27:00.000-08:002007-11-30T10:27:00.000-08:00This morning I saw some fool harassing a woman abo...This morning I saw some fool harassing a woman about having a disabled ID (she was able to walk) and sitting in the convenience seats.

However I see a real conundrum when you have a whole series of subterranean stations that have no trash cans on the platforms.<BR/><BR/>I have been forced to carry (lidded) beverages onto trains before by, e.g., getting a coffee at the Starbucks at Powell, going to wait for my train, and realizing far too late that I have nowhere to dispose of my cup even if I wanted to. The lady picking up litter on the platform even made a point to come over to me and ask me not to leave my cup behind.<BR/><BR/>BART needs to take care of the most egregious cases -- actually consuming foods on the train is a clear violation. But for people who have a lidded drink, they're total edge cases who deserve to be left alone, fined perhaps for spilling?<BR/><BR/>And PS - when are they going to tear out the seats and put sensible, plastic or vinyl ones in their place?Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928938189154593714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-10061338194771167602007-11-29T11:36:00.000-08:002007-11-29T11:36:00.000-08:00you can even get a papa murphy's pizza INSIDE the ...you can even get a papa murphy's pizza INSIDE the bart station in pleasant hill... i'm not sure what kind of behavior BART is trying to promote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
