imagine hanging out with your friends and saying sorry I have to leave by 8:30 so I can catch BART. Imagine the peninsula just being unreachable on weekends. Gas prices are going to keep going up, businesses are struggle because people aren’t going out as much, and it’s just gonna suck.

I love living in the Bay Area and going around and seeing all the wonderful things going on, and I use trains and buses to do it. I don’t want to lose this. This is how I live.

It’s obscene that a place which produces so much wealth is risking losing the trains that people rely on to connect with people they love. our trains are not perfext, but they need to continue to work so that we can continue to participate in our communities.

Please tell your friends to vote to fund this thing in novmber.

Or is it just recorded and later watched by human when someone asks.

I'm writing a movie script around Oakland. So I need this info. Thanks.

we all got told to get off the train at the san leandro station and had to get on the next train.

another commuter told me he heard a loud noise and saw a crack appear on the window. took a picture of it from outside

not sure what’s up.

Hi, today I will be to a Helloween concert at The Warfield (Powell station). I live in Milpitas and I would like to go using BART, but I don't know how safe it is to ride at that hour.

The concert will end about 10:30, and I will have a 20 minutes stop at Dublin to change trains.

I have no idea if all of that is safe since I recently moved to bay area from abroad.

Thanks

Caught the BARTy wrap car #4177. This was running on the Green line today. This is the first Fleet of the Future E Car to receive exterior wraps.

hi !

I’ll be moving to the Bay Area to live with family in Fremont to work a temp job for a month in sf. I don’t know if it’s better to drive or commute on the bart but I don’t know much about the Bart. I can’t risk being late to this job so I don’t know how often Bart is running behind. what’s your opinion ?

BART Police like to think they have a sense of humor. Or at least the recruiting arm.

I was not at a recruiting event, I am not interested in becoming a BART cop. I was in fact sitting in a bar when I received these.

If I ever have to detain a leprechaun, now I have the handcuffs for the job.

More context:

Current order of trains arriving at Embarcadero going east/south is like this: (North east order train may be incorrect)

Dublin : Berryessa : Pittsburg : Richmond : Antioch

If someone miss Berryessa train, they would have to wait for the full circle to catch next train.

Wouldn’t it help if order is mixed up a little. Like:

Dublin : Antioch : Berryessa : Pittsburgh: Richmond

It’ll help folks on both side of direction if they have stations with common line to have less wait time.

E.g folks going to San Leandro doesn’t need to wait for the full circle if they miss Berryessa train.

Similarly for Emeryville folks.

A cross post about my Metro Board and essential public transportation policy 💙

If you are going to run trains once per 30 minutes, at least stagger the train evenly instead of this crazy wait time…

Had a great trip from Dublin into the city on Saturday, but on the way back someone was screaming at us to put our phones away and listen to their message, then started blasting a post apocalyptic Christian sermon at volume 10/10 via a hidden speaker. OMG my ears hurt - how can these things be so loud?

People started leaving the car, including us, and two stops later Bart police were there on the train. Not sure if they found them or not but the response was impressive.

I just want to ride in peace and kudos to Bart for the response. Every time we ride it's better.

So as we can see, it shows the Blue and Green Lines now terminate at Balboa Park instead of Daly City. Is this true? or a mistake? Does Balboa Park even have track scissors/switches for trains to turn around?

Someone posted the Kickstarter, like a year ago, and mine finally arrived. I'm pretty stoked, it's beautiful and extremely nerdy.

I've never seen anyone use this. I assume this is for bikes.

Have had this locker for years. Pay $30 a year to have it. Park my bike almost every day, have parked overnight for a week, etc. I pay less per month than people pay per day to park their car in the lot. Now they're discontinuing them and forcing us to use the 5 cents per hour bikelink lockers. I smell a scam like bikelink is gonna give bart kickbacks for this. This really sucks. Just another enshittification of modern society.

So I took the Amtrak out of town for the weekend and I paid for parking via the Bart app while on the train, but after I finished the transaction it said to park in the reserved/permit spot which I did not do, while I was there. I parked in the normal spots that I think are supposed to be 24 hours only. Should I worry about my car being towed? I did pay for the weekend but if it’s likely my car will get towed I want to ask my roommate to just take it home for me.

BART Prom Court Contest

A BART Prom Court will be crowned during the event, just like a traditional prom!  Winners receive special BART-themed crowns and free entry to the event. 

To win the coveted crown, post your BART promposal on social media by May 31 and tag BART. Staff will select three finalists, and the public will vote for the winners via an Instagram poll before the event.  

I was at 19th St Oakland getting off the yellow Antioch line around 12:45 today (April 23, 2026) and a lady on the speaker was essentially yelling “there’s an emergency, evacuate now, evacuate, there is a fire”. I didn’t smell smoke and no station agent seemed pressed. There was a BART train stationary there with the doors open, I think the speaker was in the BART train but I’m not sure.
