tl;dr - An encounter with BART station attendants that fell far below even basic expectations of…read moreprofessionalism and public service. Today, I had an unfortunate experience with two BART station attendants at the Millbrae station. To be clear, nothing egregious happened -- it wasn't discriminatory or overtly hostile -- but the interaction was so unhelpful and dismissive that it made me question BART's training standards and the role these attendants are meant to play. I recently moved near the Millbrae station and was looking into BART's bike lock options so I could bike to the station and ride to work. After arriving during an off-peak hour, I approached the station attendants' booth to ask about how the BART bike lockers work. Now, to give you more context, these station attendants were not really that busy. This was an off-peak time, there was no one really at the booth, and honestly they were just looking at each other not even facing the window and overall shooting the crap. I went up to them, and it took a while for them to notice me, but eventually after 30 seconds the white woman ended up coming to the glass. I asked the woman, "Do you know anything about the bike stations? I just moved here and wanted to get more information." She responded that she had no idea how they worked and that she'd go online. That is a reasonable response - she redirected me. Personally, though, I was perplexed that she didn't know... from first principles, these people are here I imagine a few hours a day and I thought they'd know how their station works. But you can't expect everyone to know everything. What made me more annoyed was after - she said BART has zero dealings with bike locks and completely separate. I would've accepted this answer, but after I walked I away, with a quick Google search, 5 seconds later, found that BART Station Locked Parking is actually BART sponsored or at least mentioned on the website. I then went back and said, "It turns out they are a part of BART." She said something along the lines of, "That's your problem". At that point, I asked, "Okay, just for reference in the future, what are the things I can come to you for help with?" She abruptly said she was done talking and shut off her microphone and went back to chit chatting with her co-worker. I tried to clarify, asking, "Could I ask you about trains, lines, or timings if I needed - as in, what can you help me with if I needed?" -- but she turned away, left the mic off. Her coworker looked at me like a zoo animal and laughed after I asked what questions I could ask them. Pic of the lady attendant turning her back / muting her mic. And her partner laughing. I found this to be an extremely disappointing interaction. When I turned to the station attendants with a question - who I thought would be stewards of the BART Station - turned it out to be a very humiliating experience. I looked on the BART website, and part of their mission is to hire people to "make the best transit system in the world". I'm extremely disappointed that it seemed to me, they didn't really give a crap about helping anyone. By the end of it, I walked away and found the information I needed on my own. Still, it was frustrating knowing that even if I had questions about basic travel or service, the station attendant refused to engage. There are always two sides to a story, and I've tried to recount mine objectively. I was confrontational about what I could ask -- but I guess it wasn't "worth their time". Overall, it was an unhelpful and discouraging experience. At the very least, I expected a professional response such as, "I'm not sure, but let me check the website," or "Here's where you can find that information." Instead, my questions about what questions I could ask were met with the mic being turned off and laughter from the other attendant. For a system that aims to "make the best transit system in the world," these two employees made me feel like I wasn't welcomed as a rider.

I've traveled through it mainly to get between Oakland and Walnut Creek. This tunnel is part of California State Route 24. The tunnel consists of four "bores," or individual tubes/tunnels, each with two lanes. Two bores go east and two bores go west. Eight lanes total. Approaching the tunnel on the highway from either direction, solid white lines separate two lanes on either side before entering a bore. The lane pairs then merge after exiting the tunnel. The tunnel goes underneath sparsely-populated, tree-covered hills for roughly 0.7 miles. We've never had any issues with this tunnel. It's adequately lit and traffic has always flowed fine. I've never been stuck in a traffic jam in or around the tunnel. During our most recent trip through, my sister pointed out that the westbound bores are newer and nicer than the eastbound bores. I looked it up and she was right. The westbound bores opened in 1964 and 2013 and the eastbound bores opened in 1937. My sister has lived in Oakland long enough to remember when this tunnel only operated on three bores. You can see from my photos that the eastbound bores (twin bores) are narrow and boxy. The newest westbound bore is significantly bigger and round. It also has a shoulder and ventilation fans for enhanced safety and emergency use. The older westbound bore has the same boxy look as the original bores. However, its unique feature is it's lined with tile walls; very of the time (1960s). If traveling westbound, the newest bore uses the two right lanes. Enjoy.

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was my preferred bridge to utilize when driving in/out of San…read moreFrancisco when I resided in the San Francisco Bay area 2015 to 2019, inclusive. I traversed the bridge via my own vehicle, taxi, and Lyft. Driving my own vehicle, traffic tended to be better heading to Oakland than to San Francisco. I figured out to take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) in to San Francisco and a Lyft to East Bay for work/San Francisco International Airport-related travel. I enjoyed being able to see the water while on the bridge in my vehicle. This did factor in when deciding if I wanted to utilize BART or not for a particular trip as BART went under the Bay (no view out over the water as it was under the water). On the whole I felt safe traversing the bridge and found that vehicles/drivers tended to be considerate.
