Glad that my job is ending and starting another one. It will be good to get away from public transit. Commuters and tax payers are not getting a bang for their buck.
Riding BART is a pain in the ass and that is on a good day. They should change their name to Cattle Car Transit. Bad enough that during commute hours people are crammed into cars. But when I get off at three and get crammed into a four car train really sucks.
I’m going to be glad to get back into my car. Yes traffic sucks, but it beats riding BART. At least it is just me. I don’t have to stand on a platform and smell cigarette or marijuana smoke. Though it is illegal to smoke on the platform but BART has no motive to put a stop to it. Then there are the homeless who smell and people playing there music through smartphone speakers to annoy all around them. I’ve had enough of the loud arguments between people and over their phones. My car is quiet.
Public transportation should be at my convenience and not something I depend on. I don’t mind hopping on BART to go to San Francisco every now and then. But the daily commute is a grind and not worth it.
I hear people complain about BART every day but maybe it is time for people to do something about it. Find a job closer to where you live. But what is peace of mind worth?
