Is BART still running?

[NorcalGSG]

For you Bay Area guys, is BART still running like normal? How's the passenger load? Just curious after seeing the subways still running in NY despite the lack of ability to separate riders etc.

Yes, got to keep essential workers a way to get to work.

Same with San Diego Trolley.

A lot less riders.

Thanks. Seems like it would be a prudent idea even during regular flu season but especially now looking forward, to have Bart stock up on surgical masks and require passengers to wear to help reduce the spread while riding.

BART is running a reduced train schedule with limited hours. They close at 9.

Gotta keep spreading that Covid-Love.

SF Bay Area

Of the area served by BART what are the number of infections? About 4,000? Seems pretty light compared to LA and NY.

Libs shut us down pretty early

Why do so many people that ride Bart have such strong body odor? I've never experienced anything like it on Metrolink.

The Germ Express-... I mean, "Port Authority Light 'T'ransit Rail system," is STILL running in Pittsburgh. Buses, too.

Because what better way to reduce transmission of a contagious virus on public transit than to squeeze people onto fewer trains by reducing the number of trains and the hours of operation?

As a transit employee, I can say any vehicle entering SF or Oakland will smell like this....FOREVER
