Every interaction I’ve had with BART about improving infrastructure or cleanliness at SF, especially Mission, stations has been characterized by a shocking level of overt classism and implied racism, and the general answer has been that money shouldn’t be wasted attempting to improve SF stations because “those people” don’t take care of them anyway. It’s disgusting. BART is evil.

You never know when there’ll be a nearly unconscious drunk person on the platform to kill.

What’s BART’s definition of a “major” repair, then? Also, the memo talks about “once we are able to dismantle the escalator”… If its completely out of service and can therefore be worked on around the clock, how can it possibly take more than 24-48 hours just to take the thing apart? The good news is that my expectations for BARt are so low, I don’t expect anything to work anyway.
