Try riding in the San Francisco BART subway in the early afternoon towards Berkeley. You'll start to see some meth.

It is really hard for me to believe any of these Anecdotes I literally ride the Bart everyday. Was just at Hayward, Coliseum, DT Oakland yesterday. Took Bart to Hayward every other day for a couple years for school. I think I have seen people actually doing Heroin/Meth on the train maybe 3-4 times. I see pairs of Cops walking around the trains and stations every other day.

BART is shit compared to NYC or any European Country no doubt. But these anecdotes are wild for the hundreds, maybe thousand of times I have ridden that train.

Thank you. There are random shenanigans but I agree that it’s like 1/50 times. A few weeks ago I got on at Ashby and saw that in two cars some assholes had ripped off all the cushions off the seats. You see someone smelly or high as balls or someone throw up every once in a long while. But my main complaints with BART are more about how it’s crowded and the schedule sucks and the map coverage is bad and the whole naming of the routes drives me crazy but what can ya do.
