Super crowded place, no parking to be found specially during rush hours. Security if awful, often many break ups. Not a safe place to leave car at night hours. Must watch out, walk careful, have someone pick you up. No good lighting. Crossing the streets, walking, toward the houses is SUPER DANGEROUS for cars do not stop - no sufficient or non existence street lights. Lots of rude drivers - do not be part of the low people who do not give a dump about humans trying to get home. Also, if you drive and are a good driving person, be on the look out for "crazy" people who do not look to the sides and cross street like cows in a ranch - lucky if they do not run over by a crazy unrespectful driver. A vibrant commuting place, lots of young people; but a transfer station for some who have lost their driver licensees due to a number of illegal and danger road situations. Busses are cordial. Hub, and transfer station for lots, I mean lots of homeless and people who do not seem to work. Lots of pan handling groups including "ask for money" weird people at key entrances (bothersome). Be prepare to walk, this station is not elder friendly, you must be an athlete equipped with good tennis shoes to walk the long distances just to get to the Bart platform. Great place if you want to get in train no paying a dime (lots of people smuggle themselves, and do not pay... often no teller associate available... a desert bart employee associate area... good luck finding a police agent... lots of police cars... no security on site). I tell you, you better be though here or you can get in trouble. Be cool and cordial, make sure you call 911 if you find strange things happening. Taxies are available and a safe heaven, friendly people there, always willing to take you there, though communication might be a problem. Cold place, the platform is on the way of the wind currents that come up and down from the river. Good luck with parking. I personally would not go there if I can avoid it...
Read moreI'm truly impressed with BART's existing service, and I can't help but envision the enormous potential for extending the Yellow Line further from Pittsburg/Bay Pointe and Antioch. The current system is fantastic, but the idea of connecting even more communities is exciting.
A proposal to have the Yellow Line continue seamlessly from Bay Pointe to Antioch without a light rail section makes perfect sense. This would ensure consistency in the infrastructure and enhance the overall efficiency of the network. Moreover, the thought of extending the Yellow Line beyond Antioch is also a game-changer.
Adding new stations like Brentwood, Mountain House, Tracy, East Tracy, and Carbona to the BART network would be a tremendous benefit to these communities. The convenience of having BART service in these areas would undoubtedly reduce traffic congestion and provide more transportation options for residents.
The idea of placing the East Tracy station along S Chrisman Rd and the Carbona station next to Altamonte Commuter Express's Tracy station along W Linne Rd could serve commuters effectively.
Additionally, a proposed loop back to Mountain House for the return journey back to SFO could maximize connectivity, efficiency, and accessibility.
In summary, I believe that extending BART's Yellow Line in this manner would be a fantastic move. It demonstrates a commitment to improving public transportation and connectivity in the Bay Area. I hope to see such an expansion plan come...
Read moreMy garbage Clipper card read “see agent” this morning at 6:50am. No agent in the booth. I assumed I needed to put more money on to my card but go figure, 5 Bart ticket booths, 2 of which are out service, and 1 not accepting card payments. The lines for these “2 and a half” machines were horrendous. When I got to the machine, it said my card has $10.53 on it and if I want to apply more money I can only use cash. Why?!?!? Now that 10 minutes have passed, I decided to go with a crappy Bart ticket. Of course I missed the train I was trying to catch.
This station is disgusting and the homeless/crack head population is ridiculous for a company that rakes in so much money from us commuters. I don’t feel safe walking in and out of the station alone.
The lady with the drawn on eye brows that are practically touching each other, at the mini coffee shop, is too high to make half the things on the menu. She literally told me “I cat make that” when I tried to order something then just starred at me awkwardly. Pointless!
Need to park at Bart, you better show up at 4am or else there is no parking at any other time.
The TriDelta buses don’t even go with the trains schedule which means I have to stand around the crack heads waiting 30-40 min for...
