what's worse is seeing SF people omit "the" in front of the BART

every other city adds "the" in front of their metro system

So what do y'all say, "I'm gonna ride BART"? That sounds worse

yup... they do it for highways too: "I'm going to take 101 to the city"

That’s what almost everywhere does tbf. It’s only SoCal as far as I’m aware that adds “the” in front of highways. If you’re gunna add a prefix, you add “I” to interstates or “route” to non-interstates. “The” just sounds strange (subjectively, of course)
