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?
