Early Morning Party

Early this morning at approximately 6:30 there some strange things going on on bart. First everyone's head turns when they see three bart police speed walking through every car as if they are looking for someone that is causing problems. They quickly make their way through the car. Not even a minute had passed before the bart police had made it out to the next car, when a middle aged man opens the doors to the same car that the police were just in. He walks slowly up and down the aisle suspiciously. When he stops near the door he pulls the biggest bottle of alcohol out of his sweatshirt (it's only 6:30am). He proceeds to ask everyone on the train if they wanted a sip from his bottle and if they had money to give him. After being denied by everyone in that car, the man then walks towards the next car, only to turn right back around so he could disguise himself from the police that were walking toward him. WHAT DO YOU KNOW! That's the guy that they were looking for all along. The bart police took the man's alcohol and him off the train the very next stop.

Tip of the Day: Don't try getting money and offering commuters alcohol at 6:30 in the am on B.A.R.T

Wild and Crazy B.A.R.T

Ok so bart is pretty HECTIC to say the least today. After about seven hours of homework in the lab and a rainy day nothing could get any worse. Well it always gets worse. What is more awful than standing on a packed bart train? Lets see, try standing in a packed bart STATION like sardines. Who ever would have thought that the actual station could hold so many people. What happened is that smoke was coming from the tracks near the West Oakland station at about 5:40 pm. Well this caused a major backup since every train going to the East Bay has to go through that station. So that meant there were no trains going to Pittsburg/Baypoint, Pleasanton/ Dublin, Fremont, or Richmond. Oh well just another day on B.A.R.T

Dancing Maniac

Wednesday is the day that I am able to get on bart earlier than usual, and since it's still early I don't expect to see anything crazy. Well it all started when I was waiting the for my train, which is the Richmond line, and this nice and normal looking guy walked up to me and asked which train he should take to get to his destination. I politely told him which train to take, which also happens to be the same exact train I was taking. Three long minutes later the train arrives and the guy walks onto the train and chooses the seat right across from me, he then takes out his CD player and puts his ear buds in and blast his music. NO BIG DEAL RIGHT? Well that wasn't until about a minute later when he decided to start singing/rapping along extremely loud causing everyone to turn to look at him. Luckily he was getting off in three stops, but then he decides to embarrass himself a bit more but hopping out of his seat and dancing. When I say dancing, I mean he was all over the place. Once the train made it to his stop he ran over grabbed his bag and yelled bye to me, so it made it look like I knew him the whole time. How embarrassing!
