Comments on Valerie's review of BART
Description: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Richmond Line, Colma Line, Fremont Line, and Dublin / Pleasanton Line.
convenient, for the most part.
I ride BART every weekday to work from Castro Valley to Powell Street in San Francisco. First of all, the difference between driving and BARTing this route makes my life 100% easier.
BART runs on electric lines, so it's not directly polluting, though the creation of that electricity has to come from somewhere. I wonder often how feasible it would be to power BART using solar panels/batteries. I also wonder about using magnets to make a train run...
The Dublin train only comes every 15 minutes and during commute hours trains are very full from start station to end station both ways. I would love more trains and more parking - more parking = more people riding. I have to get to CV lot before 7:45 AM to get a spot, and that's not the worst lot out there. There's also the general complaints: dirty trains, service ends at midnight. As a commute user, midnight doesn't affect me as much. They're installing a new kind of floor, which I think will help with cleanliness.
