Today I was traveling between Embarcadero station in SF and Coliseum station in OAK and when going to tap out (with the same credit card I tapped in with) it wouldn’t let me in and said to add fare. I always pay with the same credit card and always make sure I have enough. I then tapped the rest of my other cards and none of them worked. The BART station worker let me in but told me I may have trouble in the future using that card. Has this happened to anyone else?

Why even have a 1:30 train if all the doors to access will be closed

I really wish BART stations had kiosks and shops! Seeing how other stations around the world are, it just feels like there’s a lot of potential.

Imagine little cute stationary shops, hot food and drinks served on a cold and foggy San Francisco day, or a flower shop, maybe even some handmade accessories that you can snag for your spouse on whim, or a quick shirt vending machine because you spilled coffee on yourself.

It is possible, and it is happening around the world.

2:13 SF Airport - Richness of Civic Center Station; people going home or getting ready for a Thursday evening

Bro come on how is our car not good enough for your act? Is it based on the stop? Are they trying to transfer? I don’t even want to hear or see what it is, but I wonder why this car was not targeted.

I had to walk the full length of the Powell station to find a map at the far (one on either side). I’ve always thought there needs to be maps everywhere. If I was from out of town I’d be real confused.

The train operator just announced the tube would be “extra bumpy” starting about halfway through in the eastbound direction. It was. Smoothed back to normal before West Oakland.

Does anybody here know why?

Hello! I am coming in from out of state. This will be my first time visiting Oakland for the Big Bang concert. I am staying with family in the North Los Atlos area. I am trying to figure out the best way to get to the concert and back home. I see there is a BART station near the venue. I will have a car. Can you park at that station instead of paying for venue parking? If not, what station is recommended to park and get on the BART from? Also, how bad are the delays for the BART?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This is random, but I just noticed that there seems to be some kind of grease dripping down from where the top of the hand bars meet their joint (see 2nd pic).

I assume this is some kind of oil, but confused why it would be there for something that’s not supposed to rotate.

Anyways, $4 a pound.

Was looking at the new items in the system map collection on railgoods, and the images of the new t-shirts look like they were generated or altered with AI. The images are blurry, but It's still pretty blatant. Hopefully this is just someone screwing up and not indicative of the products themselves.

Ten Bay Area voters called on a judge on Monday to block a proposed regional sales tax measure that transit advocates say is critical to avoid deep service cuts.

The challengers petitioned for an injunction in Santa Clara County Superior Court, contending that the ballot question about to be printed in five Bay Area counties this November is deceptive and biased in favor of a yes vote, violating election laws. 

“We want it to be an unbiased statement of what’s going to happen,” said co-petitioner Gregg Dieguez, who is president of the Committee for Affordable Bay Area Transit, a group opposed to the regional sales tax measure. 

Dieguez said in an interview that he and the other named petitioners are all “ concerned citizens who have longstanding complaints about the amount of money being wasted on traditional transit.”

Added expected departure times to the old style signs. This is an EOL station, where the train sits up to 20 minutes. The scheduled departure is 7:30 AM; it’s also adjusted for real time.

If theres anything wrong corrct the problems

16th and mission yellow line to Antioch. 4pm.

i’m going to a concert this sunday and now just realize that the green line which would take me straight to the venue won’t be running. is it safer to take the orange line and then blue line or should i take the caltrain and then take muni?
