It’s about time somebody connected the dots between BART and Bart Simpson. Finally, the good folks at Cool Try made this T-shirt of “BART Simpson,” painting the transit town red.
A closer look at the graphic:
The shirt also comes in tie dye and sweatshirt flavors. Check ‘em out.
Bonus: According to @onTheBeat, BART made an appearance on The Simpson’s this week. Nice.

There was a compost bin on BART recently, according to @cruisezero. Why? I suppose the answer is: Why the hell not? Except for the whole part about those things stinkin’ to high heaven.
Someone set it up with the traveling Muni Metro recycle bin, as they can love up on some Earth together, 4 eva.
Nifty filter on the compost bin.

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Starting next week, BART will be able to ban unsavory passengers. SFist has the story:
Thanks to a policy passed by the BART board last year, anyone caught defacing a building, taking a dump on the train or harassing passengers and station agents can be banned from the system for up to a year.
Go to SFist for the full story.
What do you think of this new policy? Long past due? Ripe for abuse?
Nope, really, that’s it.
Hints of Jackass on BART—though not enough bodily fluid or harm to be truly Knoxville-esque—prompting confusion and vague concern from riders. Hat tip: The Snitch.
I’d be afraid of actually hurting myself and drawing the FOR REAL ire of people for causing a medical delay, but that’s just me.
Our very own Laura of @caltraindiaries is no stranger to BART. And none of us are strangers to this. Laura sez:
I got on BART yesterday at Montgomery during rush hour, around 6:15. This gentleman was sleeping on three seats and effectively blocking seat #4. He was also snoring and appeared to not notice that 1) the train was full of people and 2) that the train was full of people because it was rush hour. I also especially liked that this happened under the “Help Us Keep BART Accessible” sign.
The visual irony is my favorite part. This rivals laptop guy lounging on BART and, rudeness aside, both are a little gross for them, right? These aren’t the non-absorbent seats, after all.
Send your favorite BART sightings to @bartdiaries, won’t you? Extra credit if it’s the aftermath of waking someone up.
