Ok, while we are on BART gripes: what is the deal with people trying to squeeze their way upstream and board the cars before everyone has fully detrained? In NYC peeps form little ad-hoc queues to the left and right of the doors, let the exiters exit, then enter in two quick streams. In the Bay, I feel like MFing Moses trying to part the sea when exiting a train.
Don't even get me started on the weird station lines that people form at Embarcadero/Montgomery/Powell...
- ihaveajob 9y agoIt's even more annoying given that passengers waiting to board know EXACTLY where the door will be when the train stops, thanks to those black edge marks. It might not be a bad idea to ask BART to add some floor marks telling people where to line up on crowded stations.
- kcanini 9y agoSeems like adding these stickers would be useful: http://thesource.metro.net/2013/02/13/new-platform-decals-reinforce-the-message-let-people-off-the-train-before-boarding-the-train/ http://thesource.metro.net/2013/02/13/new-platform-decals-re...
- makr17 9y agoYou'd think, but at crowded platfroms people are still standing right in the middle of the yellow, and don't budge when the train arrives. :-(
- Draco_Au 9y agoI hear ya. SF is a cowtown compared to NYC, a true capital of the world. Our role is to educate these people I guess, but this place is being overrun by the Chinese and they don't have the best of manners. I don't appreciate families hogging the Muni, sitting their last three generations in the first Mickey Mouse seats of the Vehicle, ugh...
