    When a city or state really invests in a transit system, it shows. When they don't... well, we saw what happened with that with NYC Subway in the 2010s.

    Yeah but Bart police aren’t on there at nights and if they are it’s only in Oakland. I like the progress.. I just gotta respond to the police being on the trains. More is needed.

      @@GovernmentIssued There are too many fare jumpers and BART does need to deal with this. But no more than 2-5% are actually evading fares overall. The vastest majority of BART riders pay. And almost all the fare evasion comes from a handful of stations that everyone already knows are famous for rampant fare evasion.

      There were large conferences and mega-events before. 30k people in San Francisco are not going to spontaneously cause the highest ridership numbers for BART if there's not already a massive increase in ridership.

    It's easier to say you have increased ridership and it might seem busier when you've gone from 10 car trains to 8 car trains and from 10 minute to 20 minute headways per line meaning each station and line is more busy at any one time than if frequency was increased as well as capacity per trainset. C'Mon BART. Looks aren't everything.

      They literally got the top two highest ridership numbers since the beginning of the pandemic this week dude. And their ridership increased by 30% since last year. Ridership is definitely increasing with or without the service change.

      @@kevinquirarte2365 BART is not a subway. It's an S-bahn - a very large regional rail system with subway-like infrastructure.
      Subways don't do 80 mph and they don't have single lines that are 60 miles long. BART is a different type of system.
      You're thinking of Muni Metro. That's a subway with fixed prices, short lines, more frequent stops, and slower speeds.

      BART started a major cleanup about a year ago. Now it's reasonably clean and safe during the commute. I take it a few times a week now. It's not perfect yet, but 100x better than it was last year for sure.
