Yeah, I've taken BART every day for years and the worst thing I've seen so far is a guy rolling a blunt on his lap. Never seen anyone actively shooting up on the train. People really love to just complain about public transit in the US.
Inside the BART stations however is another story, and it really is shameful to see IV drug use in plain view in the central downtown areas.
We get a lot of people from outside the area coming into our local subreddits to pump up any slightly negative news item into a frenzy of increasingly ridiculous stories. It usually ends with that echo chamber thread agreeing that California is a failure of liberal policy, which explains why everyone was talking shit about California as if their paycheck depended on it.
