Comments on Abendigo's review of BART
Description: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Richmond Line, Colma Line, Fremont Line, and Dublin / Pleasanton Line.
we take BART for granted
You know, BART's pretty green when you think about it -- but it's even moreover economical. Just the fact SF tied for 4th in the nation for regional public transportation ridership, with only NY, Chicago, and Boston ahead of it, is fairly telling! Their Bike to Work days and Spare the Air days are easily taken for granted. I wonder how many cars they keep off the road? I wonder to what degree they increase walkability and rapid transport? It's about time we started celebrating BART for its accomplishments rather than whining every time something goes wrong or something goes up in price. I can say for myself that with BART I'm to work in less than 20 minutes, having gone 2.3 miles, and it's completely safe and for a $1.40. Compare that with traffic congestion, the danger of driving, vehicle insurance, and the cost of having a decent vehicle -- which would probably cost more like $3.75, without even factoring in the risk. Not bad.
