no kidding.. I lived in SF during the peak of the influx of tech and was a daily BART rider. there's things I can't unsee.

I'm glad I got to experience the carpeted cars with cloth seats even if they got gross some times.

  • Cloth seats on BART must be among the worst design decisions ever made. Seating on public transit must be something that can be hosed down with bleach, and not a material that will forever hold whatever funk is deposited into it.

    • I took BART a lot (uhhh) 30 years ago. The trains were very clean and highly policed. I wouldn't even bring a coffee on board, much less smoke crank or whatever. Different era.

    • It was way more comfortable to sit on, soft surfaces help keep noise levels down inside the car, and I wash my clothes regularly :p
