BART prohibits vaping in stations
BART is my new spirit transit system.
"No vaping" joins "no smoking" on station signage. https://t.co/jcwKrsGvhi

Thank you, BART. I owe you one.

Left behind on BART
I always wanted to work at Six Flags when I was a kid. It wasn’t the roller coasters that attracted me—I scrounged up enough for a season pass every summer from about age 11–15, so I was good. No, I always wanted a front-row seat to all the crap people left behind.
SFGate talked with BART officials to see what people leave on trains.
“We get everything from teeth to wheelchairs to prosthetic limbs,” said BART Manager of Transportation Tera Hankins. “Pretty much anything someone could lose, we see it.”
Can you imagine your friend showing up to the party, and you’re all, “Hey, nice to see you. Where’s your leg, dude?”
Here’s a partial list of things people have left on Muni buses and trains:
Lost on Muni: Wallet, computer, blue teddy bear
Wallet Lost, Wallet Returned!
Muni driver returns lost briefcase
Pants, Check: Lost and Found on Muni
Be Mime: Lost Wallet on Muni Leads to Love

Q: When will BART escalators be back in service?
A: (see above) When hell freezes over.
Which got me thinking: Man, when hell really does freeze over, hella things will happen at once. I hope I live to see that day.

Where the rubber meets the rail
Uh, well, I guess that’s one way to make your BART ride more enjoyable. Reminds me of this couple, who I never ever wanted to think about again.
Via Birgit K., who says: “Morning is never boring on @SFBART. Someone is ready for a ride of passion.”
Enjoying a morning drink on BART
Always have to wonder whether they were drunk or in need of drink before they got on public transit, or they drink because they’re on public transit. Either way, salud!
We last saw the beer of champs on the J-Church. You really get around, Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Via Miguel Quesadilla (thanks, I’m hungry now): “7:30 am PBR is better than Starbucks in the morning”
BART car all dressed up in throwback graffiti
Holy 1970s! That there is a gosh-danged BART train adorned with some hella throwback graffiti. Vandalism yadda yadda, this is kinda rad, no?
Have you ever seen BART cars with graffiti like this? I don’t think I have.
