I've been having to use it a lot lately - if your worried about the who ha flu bring your N95 masks. I see that the most seasoned Bart riders have that along with some reading material. Bart trains can get crowded. Especially during rush hour at connecting trains. Maybe avoid that if you can but if you've got a direct route you might want to give it a try. I recently saw a very model type lady get on the train here. She was very well dressed and chose not to sit down although many many seats were open. She angled her body slightly into the wall against a metal vertical handbar jamming her shoulder - locked in place. She didn't touch anything. Thats classy. She was a pro at this Bart thing. I don't remember what kind of mask she wore but I was curious how she could balance so well with the unpredictable starting and stopping of the train. She was wearing very stylish but sensible shoes that I remember thing was aiding in her balancing act. IDk you might not want to bring the children. For one thing they will want to touch everything..... but it depends on your parenting technique. I've personally not witnessed anything much except some youngsters smoking between the cars which I think could make a great designated smoking section anyway.

However, a lot of riff raff and rough people because this is where Caltrain bumps off non-paying riders and unhygienic homeless people. Lots of strangers hanging out at all hours, but none of them particularly dangerous. No toilets, no restrooms, no water, only benches. Tolerable if you are waiting for a train. Now featuring a Lot Cop for reduced car break-ins. Original Greyhound Terminal now owned and operated by Samtrans. No Public Access and No Greyhound service, but is an interesting building to look at. Makes we wish we had regional bus service to the Coast, it would connect well with Caltrain. NOTE ! Greyhound does still serve Redwood City one block away at 850 Winslow Street .. outside an abandoned store. At 12 AM Only. With service like this you're better off taking Samtrans or Caltrain. I used the "Throne" branded "free" toilet paid by my tax money. The entry process with the QR code and SMS text message was interesting, but functional. Of writing, this is a brand new, unused unit with no graffiti, trash or discoloration. TP was fully stocked, all plumbing/electrical worked and the toilets/sink function as expected with clean water. Fully ADA Compliant with NO issues with the access ramp.

The problem is that you have to be careful to watch that the gate registered when you are paying to go in and when you are paying to go out. If the system doesn't charge you to get out of the Bart station then you will need to see an agent to reset your digital card. The staff will probably assume that you skipped paying, so take the extra time to move slowly and check that your payment was taken when you exit the bart.

I've never come across this level of hospitality before. Usually you have to contact a gate agent to assist in using the elevator and that is if it's working at that station. They seem to go in and out all the time and at some stations they never seem to be in operation. This is a good station to walk to if you are coming from or going to a Giants game. It's actually a closer walk then if you walk to the Embarcadero station and that is where most guests walk to when going to or coming from a GIants game. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the Montgomery BART station to the Ball park. The BART station's first stop if you are heading from Oracle Park to the Pittsburg BayPoint line is the Montgomery station so when we arrive we were able to get seats. Next we stopped at the Embarcadero Station and it was flooded with people and there were very few seats for them, most people had to stand in our train. The initial wait for the train was 15 minutes from the time we entered the station from the Giants game till we hopped on the train. The Daly City line came several times over while we were waiting. Bathrooms. I can't speak to their bathroom situation as we used them at the Ballpark before we left so we didn't need to use them. BART no longer uses the old school BART tickets, they have revolved into using the Clipper Cards or a Credit Card. I have a plastic clipper card somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure where it is and failed to bring it. The good thing about using a Clipper Card is you aren't holding out your credit card to come and go using BART. I was afraid I would drop it in the crowd. They also have a Clipper App you can use, but I'm not a big fan of paying for things with apps. In the end I took my chances and used my credit card as a key to get in and out of the BART station. I'll probably use my Credit Card next time I use BART too just for the convince. In addition I don't like putting money on cards as I always end up with an odd amount left over that I can never use and it ends up to be lost money.

At this point, SFMTA has failed its communities in all aspects. From my experience, I will demonstrate how employees treated me, and the results of my commute. Experience #1: I lost my clipper card, and I asked one of the employees at the information booth how to operate it the app. Many of the workers do not don't know! Others gave me wrong information. Experience #2: I was appalled about how the Transit Fare Inspector treated me. Badge #F65, Eugene Bulkin labled me as difficult for not showing my ID. I was honest, and cooperative in this type of situation. To look superior, he forcefully made me find my ID in my fanny pak after mentioning, losing ID at the bar. He also threatened me to call dispatch. Lastly, he went through my bag by peeking that he saw my ID. Besides, trying to sound superior and attempting to degrade passengers/tourist, the worst part is that he embarrassed me by telling my rides at other transit agencies! Bulkin, becareful who you are talking to with that attitude of yours. You will get the person that will make you learn a lesson.
