I also think the noise pollution is a huge issue and I see the signs on the BART trains about how they are working to reduce the squeaking, but it is still really bad in my opinion. Additionally, I am SO upset by the outrageous cost of BART, especially given what terrible service they normally provide. It is a regressive tax on the poor to continue to raise the price of public transportation. Especially when the BART does not run nearly enough and is almost always so overcrowded we are packed in together standing shoulder to shoulder. I really think there needs to be a tax on all the giant companies in San Francisco to subsidize the cost of BART for all of us who have to commute to work there everyday and also to expand the number of trains and their frequency so it is a reasonable way to commute that is actually somewhat predictable. Although I am happy I don't drive because of the pollution, I am still very unhappy with my BART commute. Vishallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384874210989927528noreply@blogger.com
