But why would anyone ever take a bus from BART station to BART station when BART is faster? Well, sometime between late 2018 and early 2020, BART had a major problem on its Red Line. I was on the train headed to work that morning, and when we stopped at MacArthur Station, the train operator helpfully informed us passengers that there was a major issue up ahead and the train would be holding indefinitely. Mind you, I rode BART every weekday from San Francisco to Downtown Berkeley for almost ten years. This was not my first BART major-issue/meltdown rodeo, and while I had used some clever tricks to get from affected station to non-affected station--or to bypass affected station altogether--I had never just gotten off the train and sought a form of transportation other than my feet. But I couldn't very well walk from MacArthur Station to Downtown Berkeley, so I pulled out my phone and decided to ride AC Transit for the first time in many years. I was able to find the stop easily enough, and I was surprised by how direct (and quick) the bus ride to Downtown Berkeley was. All of this despite how long it took the the bus to pick up and let off passengers at each stop. There were many other frazzled BART riders with me early on, but most of them had left the bus long before we got to Southside Berkeley. The bus driver then informed us that there was an issue with his regular route, so he would be detouring in such-and-such a way. I had no idea what his regular route was, but I knew where he was headed, so I stayed put. Worst-case scenario, I'd get off the bus south of campus and walk to work. But the bus ended up where it was supposed to, and I was only about twenty minutes late for work. All my previous nervousness about my Clipper Card not having enough regular money (as opposed to BART-specific money) stored on it was like most of my nervousness: completely unnecessary but also ridiculously indefatigable. So thanks, AC Transit 6 bus! You really made my day that day, and I predicted then that I would have ridden you again by now, but COVID, and the world, etc.

However, I was forced to take it after Flix bump me from my original bus that was headed to UCLA and placed me on this bus ( their partner in the Bay Area). As a disabled passenger I know that I have certain rights and unfortunately the bus driver was not willing to abide by them/ ADA . Bus driver had an attitude and was arguing about the placement of my wheelchair and could not guarantee reimbursement if it was damaged. She was literally was acting as if I didn't have a disability because I was standing at the time and walking. Not all wheelchair users are wheelchair bound . Some are ambulatory and can walk short distances. But anyway, this bus line is not worth the hassle. I know she hates her life personally, but please don't take it out on passengers . The only positive aspect was that the pick up point was right in front of a Oakland, West Oakland BART station so that I was able to easily take the next train to SFO and book an airline ticket. The last minute airline ticket that I paid which costs $80 more is worth it knowing my wheelchair will being handled with care and consideration and that I also I will also be treated like a human being .

Took the gondola ride up just for fun (it's free!), and that alone made it worth visiting. I went for a jog around the park, which was a cool experience, but heads up. It gets crowded during lunchtime with people walking, eating, and just hanging out, so it's not the most peaceful run. One thing I noticed and appreciated: the amount of security.

I came in about an hour before I was told the place was closing at 9:30pm. There was a security lady, though she was definitely nice and helpful, I just didn't vibe with this transit center. There were about three transient or homeless persons that were hanging out or sleeping on the seats. I was one of the few people there and I said as security, why don't they regulate the place more. She told me it's just normal there with the homeless. I guess they just put a blind eye to it. But think it's kind of unmindful of safety of travelers. Even as a modern transit space, it does looks nice, with very tall escalators inside, but the safety was not exactly felt here, especially at night. Hopefully they'll actually enforce things than just let things be. But perhaps it's foreshadowing how things are handled in the city.

Second the bus was dirty with trash still in the bag from someone else. bathroom terrible latch is loose. Third I had to listen the whole ride to another driver who must be new also telling her every direction possible . I didn't feel safe. She drives like a person who just got their driving license. Every other 20 minutes she has to ask where to get off? What's the turn off. The man is using GPS!! When we left RENO we almost crashed into a truck cause she was in the wrong lane. The man had to tell her to slow down. He said three times slow down CHP is right there. She is very hard on the breaks also. I couldn't sleep hardly. The bus maybe is hella old. All you hear is squeaky sounds from all over windows too. No good personality skills that I saw. The guy did everything but drive. I hope we make it back to Salesforce safely. I'm willing to try again next year and hopefully the drivers are trained not using GPS on phone. The lady driver is using the guys phone and the man has the GPS loud speaker on his phone.

Like another reviewer I was bitten by arbitrarily expiring passes in October 2012. I purchased 4…read more10-ride passes through my employer's transit program, all marked "Expires January 2013." Then my schedule changed putting me on transit at the worst possible times. I rode my motorcycle to work all summer, then decided I'd better start using the passes since they'd expire in a few months. I was pretty shocked when the driver told me my pass had expired and wouldn't let me on. I called Vallejo Transit to ask if I could exchange my passes and they said no, their exchange program ended 2 days ago, and they'd posted flyers alerting riders about the deadline. I was pretty angry about that. I spent the money, they took it, I got nothing. That's called stealing. It would've been no trouble for them to either exchange my passes or let me use them up. The new passes are printed on different paper with a different design and that's the only difference I can see, besides that my new pass says "Expires 07/31/2013." Should I believe that? Anyhow my attempt to be environmentally friendly and save wear & tear on my commute vehicle ended up costing $180 in passes I threw out, or 6 weeks of gas money looking at it another way. What a rip! I would've been better off riding the motorcycle. As far as the service itself, it's reasonably timely and on schedule at 6am heading to El Cerrito Del Norte BART. In the mornings it's easy to relax, read a magazine, and think, "this is way better than driving, why did I hate public transit so much?" In the evenings it's late, crowded, and it can take over an hour to travel the 16 miles between BART and the Transit Center. That's longer than it takes me to ride home from work on the motorcycle. And it can be a very, very long hour on a crowded bus with kids playing loud hip-hop in the seats behind you. There are a few things that could be done to expedite evening service, such as not waiting in the cash lines at the toll gates (isn't the bus a carpool?), or not pulling into the Curtola park-n-ride lot to let everyone off, then getting stuck in traffic as everyone who just got off the bus tries to leave the lot at the same time. It also seems like there are too many stops for an "express" service. Other quibbles: it costs $7.50 in gas and bridge toll for me to ride my motorcycle to work in Oakland. It costs twice that to take Vallejo Transit and BART to work and it takes an *extra* 30 - 60 minutes each way. Even as an alternative transportation advocate it's hard to recommend public transit when it COSTS MORE and TAKES MORE TIME than taking my own vehicle. Granted, that vehicle is a motorcycle. As another reviewer mentioned, a front-loading bicycle rack like every single other transit bus has would be nice. I put my bicycle in the cargo hold once and only once. Laying it on its side and having it bounce around in there is no way to transport a bike you care about. But really the fare is ridiculous. Round trip to BART on WestCAT is only $2.75. Why is it 10 bucks to take the 80? The two-star rating is for BikeLink lockers at the Vallejo Transit Center. That is oddly progressive for Vallejo and I applaud the effort even if it costs an extra 50 cents a day to park my bike there, bringing my round-trip commute total to $15.20. Without the BikeLink lockers I wouldn't be able to ride the 80 at all. I'm hopeful service will improve. If they could just stick to the published schedules and make it affordable that'd go a long way.
