Comments on Eliza's review of BART
Description: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Richmond Line, Colma Line, Fremont Line, and Dublin / Pleasanton Line.
Better than nothing?
As someone who would always rather ride than drive, I take BART whenever possible. This system is so bad I can barely call it public transportation.
Tickets are priced so high that it's still cheaper to drive sometimes, even with a $4 bridge toll. Parking is totally unavailable during the day at any of the East bay stations I use, and now there's a fee tacked on as well.
Trains are usually on time, which is good, because they don't run very often. Service stops around midnight, but check the schedule for your station very carefully if you don't want to get stuck.
I have no idea what BART's operational goal is, but it's not to get people out of their cars.
