I don't think it is... The NY subway system is much better then bart in terms of getting you somewhere whenever.
If BART is the countries best mass transit, well, our country has a sad, SAD mass transit system... which we already knew, but we didnt know it was THAT bad...
Its amazing how much better Europe is in that regard... Makes out country look like its stuck in the early 1900's. BART is the best... AHHAHAHHA, my god, that be soooo god damn sad that I can't stop laughing.
It does come in handy sometimes, but even still, its no where NEAR perfect

Ive taken BART to work for the past four years or so. Its cool but I have had lots of ****ty times - 30+ minute wait times, trains with broken AC, trains so packed that they pass up the station, etc..
That said, its really nice to have. Not sitting in traffic is great.

I dont understand why prices havent come down.
I use to take Caltrain to SF...but now with gas it's cheaper to drive even pay $7 for all day parking.
Caltrain used to be $4.25 MV to SF now its $5.75 (raised when gas went up) and it hasnt dropped yet.

I drive one day a week to work because I actually enjoy traffic with a help of cigarettes and alike. with shortcuts its not too bad and my commute is 9am which isn't so bad. I did drive almost everyday but when gas hit over 4, I rode bart more often and 16 dollars a day for parking adds up.
main reason for bart is sleeping

I dunno, I just know where I am because I've ridden it so many times. I've seen almost every station. So I don't worry about signs too much. Actually, I think I've stopped at almost every station on the BART map, except El Sobrante, El Cerrito, and the Richmond stops.

the BART cars are pretty outdated compared to some of the newer designs out there, but not bad.

I think BART is pretty reliable. Not the cleanest public transportation system and not the most considerate. But it's pretty much damn on time and I can 80% of the time count on it to take me from point A to point B without any worries.
I believe BART is the best public transit system in the country.

BART to me, isn't that bad. I'd prefer it over MUNI, or the metro system in LA. Although, since I use it whenever I go to SF, and try to avoid rush hour, I'm not sure how good it feels when people are pushing into you the whole time.
The only thing that I've been annoyed with, is the fact that they're building a stoneridge BART station, when there's a station one more freeway exit away!

I'm sure any asian transit system will put BART to shame.
