I saw a homeless dude wacking off on my way to Oakland one morning. You probably sat in the stain last week.

I’m guessing they’ll have a new design to try and keep the cars from ruining the rails over time.

Currently BART has to continually grind rails during nonservice hours to take out the ‘wavyness’ that the current cars introduce over time.

Heres hoping they engineered the wheels to not scrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaape the rails this time.

It’s the same amount of places for people to sit, but configured in a way (against the sides) that creates more space for people to stand.

Please BART, please, no plastic! Keep the carpet and those sofa-like seats! I really like that.

Overall though, I prefer the fabric seats. Otherwise, it’s a glorified Muni car. Those hard plastic seats blow.

Does not compute.
