Weekend Photos

Leave a comment

While we await the flood of BART stories that is sure to overtake us at any moment now (;)), we’re going to treat Friday the same way we do over at Muni Diaries: with a collection of some of our favorite photos from the BART Photos Flickr pool. Enjoy, and have a safe weekend.

*Remember that Monday marks the first day of a schedule adjustment for BART.

It’s 5:45 A.M. at El Cerrito (w/update)

Update (7:52 a.m.): The Bay Bridge is open to car traffic, according to CBS 5.

Original post: This just in from Mac, who doesn’t seem to think this unexpected day of no Bay Bridge has started off too well.

It’s 5.45am, and the platform at El Cerrito plaza is unusually busy. I hopped the first sf train (8 cars), and there are 4 open seats after I sit, and we’re not even in berk yet. Bart announced that despite the bridge remaining closed for un unexpected extra day, it won’t be running extra trains today. The bridge carries 250,000 cars per day. BART’s suggestion to commuters on KRON news last night was to telecommute (aka ‘snow day’). Newsflash to Bart: People don’t commute in for jollies, they commute because they have to. And today looks to be especially unpleasant.

Let us know how your commute is going today: bartdiaries@gmail.com.

this cracked me up...

Am I the only one who’s ever wondered how often people sitting at the front of the bus stand up to offer their seat to a pregnant woman, only to realize she’s just overweight?

Had that thought while riding the 22 the other day. Then felt like a terrible person for having aforementioned thought.

What “evil” thoughts have you had on Muni lately? Comments, please.
