Esp Monty, Powell. Powell has the bonus of stairs after the fare gate, and if you work in the Flood Building, well... Civic and Mission stairmasters are so so.

BART ESCALATORS WORKING. Seriously though, most of them work. It seems the urban ones break faster than suburban ones. More usage, more grime. I wish BART would elevate their stair experience (maybe start with the Apple Store SF one) with those Danish piano key stairs. I'm a fan of exercise so I always use stairs whenever possible, unless i'm super sick. EXTRA EXTRA! BART ESCALATORS WORKING.

Seriously, the moment I do is the moment you'll hear about later that day: "SF man mangled by escalator's sudden jolt into power." I hate not-working escalators enough never to use them.

It makes me feel so cheated when I have to walk up an escalator. Yes, it is always the up escalator that’s broken! It makes me feel so cheated when I have to walk up an escalator.

Totally. I am a lazy transit rider. Every day since this escalator has been broken, I walk through the fare gates, look to my right to see their status, and when still broken turn around and go through the other exit because, really, I live north-east of the station.
