It’s not fair to compare it to Bart which stretches from Richmond to San Jose, Dublin to San Francisco. It hits almost every big city in the east bay but people still don’t really use it as leisure transport because these cities are too big and you would have to add a bicycle, or Uber, or carpool to the end of the Bart trip to get where you’re trying to go.
I actually probably ride Bart the most of anyone you’ll ever find in the Bay Area. I don’t have a car so I use it to get all over and use my bike with it as well. I ride on weekday commute hours, I’ve ridden regularly on weeknights after 9pm, I’ve ridden regularly on weekends. It will really piss me off if/when Bart shuts down, and it’s going to be single handedly because of the tech faggots. Although I think it is pretty fitting. The tech industry is what ruined this entire region anyway and sucked all the soul and character and community of of the region, now they have also ruined the only great public service it has.
