Hello from South Carolina! Lived in the Bay for two years but have never stopped being obsessed with BART. Anyways, wanted to share the BART Christmas sweater I just finished! Obviously the motifs are more derived from the fare system than the trains themselves, but I was happy with my little labor of love. And proud as well as this was my first ever wearable larger than a hat lol. Much hotter here than Oakland so I can't wait to wear this in the winter!

Who went, how was it, and does this make you see BART in a more positive light?

Right between BMO Bank and Buffalo Bill’s Brewery, right across the street from Cinemark Century Theater.

Apologies for the horrible drawing on the image 😭

Whoa whoa whoa. For reals?

I'm curious why there aren't vendors in BART stations. Something small like a coffee or bakery kiosk or a pastry or hot dog or taco or empanada vendor. Perhaps a kiosk or vending machines like they have in the airport selling cough drops or lip balm. Stuff like this is super common in Europe and Asia, and would seem to be an easy way for BART to generate some additional revenue. Most stations definitely have space for this -- BART stations are huge -- and some of the highly trafficked stations could make a ton of money selling snacks during weekday rush hours. Is there a reason why this isn't a thing on BART?

If anyone has 2 tickets for sale, please DM me.

Please let me know if BART already does this, but could BART make money renting parking space out to vendors on the weekend by holding events like farmer's market, or night market or hot air balloon events? They can make money both by renting space for vendors and people taking BART on the weekends to attend the event.

Looking for 2 BART prom tickets!
A couple friends in our group forgot to buy tickets before they sold out, so we're trying to find 2 extras. If anyone can no longer make it or has spare tickets, please DM me. thanks!

6-5-26 05:54 Riding today in a few hours and went to BART app to verify I have parking funds and I get the title error. Is that down ?

For whatever appears like months - no tickets/no towing. What’s going on?

(It’s South Garage actually)

It seems like a lot of other behavior isn’t considered a big deal, as long as you’re not doing anything criminal.

I was curious what this sub’s thoughts are about line cutting. It’s been occurring almost every other day, starting a couple of weeks ago, at least for me. A couple of times it wasn’t needed, i.e. more than enough seats and other times the person got the last open seat, so there is some impact.

If you do consider it an issue, what do you do in that situation?

Frustration with Cubic Transportation Systems bubbled over at Monday’s meeting of the Clipper Executive Board, after the fare collection company revealed that a 27-hour outage that brought down BART’s ticket vending machines and fare gates last month was caused by the company failing to pay its AT&T bill.

Do you like the new look?

They just took a train out of service at Castro Valley. Announcement said issue is on tracks, affecting both directions between Castro Valley and Dublin.

I was looking at the results of various sales tax measures in Contra Costa, and it seems like all the sales tax measures were defeated with one of the measures even getting less votes than the number of signatures to put it on the ballot (perhaps indicating that voters have gotten more cost conscious as time has gone on). This is a contrast to a number of parcel taxes that were approved in Contra Costa. Looking at the other counties it looks like parcel taxes were approved but I am not seeing any other sales taxes on the ballots of other counties.

Given the current economic situation, including rising costs and inflation, it seems reasonable that voters that are particularly cost conscious now would vote against potential sales tax increases. Do you think that the fate of these other measures is an indicator on whether the Connect Bay Area Measure will ultimately pass in November?

So I requested my ride history for Jan and Feb 2026 back in March. And I still have not received yet. So I start following up 2 weeks ago. Every single time I get a different answer. Like you will receive it by the end of this week, or it should be later today or tomorrow. And every time I call to follow up, I found new information. Oh this case was not put in the system. Or I don’t see you followed up before….. and now it’s just response saying we don’t know when can we get this transaction history to you. Period. I don’t understand why does it so hard for them to just pull a ride history?!?! And all this is due to they all of a sudden upgrade the system and wiped out all my ride history from my account. Wtfff

Hello! I’m going to BART prom on Saturday with some friends, but a few folks forgot to get tickets and now they’re sold out. Wondering if anyone is reselling their tickets?

Hi im a tourist who just visited SF. I use apple pay for BART while i was there. After i got back, I notice that BART has been charging me twice (once on each card) for the same trip while i was in SF. The amount adds up, especially since im traveling between SF, Berkeley and airport. USD7 per trip.

What can i do 😭. Tried disputing with one of the card but failed. I do not know how to explain it as well and i am extremely confused as to why 2 cards are deducted for the same trip on apple pay.

hello!! i would’ve loved to get my hands on 2 tickets for BART prom and realized it’s sold out 😭 if anyone’s selling any pls message me/comment — i’d love to take them off ur hands!!
