I lost the original post here on Mastodon, but this is a really interesting quasi-legal documentary about the BART transit system that services the Bay Area in California: https://youtu.be/3-Jrp6it9Ss
The story starts with a teenaged Vincent Woo wishing he could see out the front of the train. Twenty years later, he has brought us all there with him. #publictransit #BART

Riding BART today into the city. As someone with anxiety, this is stressing me out. I'm sure it will be fine, but the unknown can be overwhelming. There is comfort in the familiar and the familiar in the US is the car and the supposed sense of control having one gives you.

This is an interesting stat, BART targeted 91% trains on time and achieved 75%. Ukraine during shelling and wartime achieved 95% trains on time. Additionally it is noted how important trains are for civilian evacuation.

Staying near the 12th St/#Oakland #BART station tonight - any dinner recommendations? Bonus if it’s a calm spot where my coworker and I can chat & chill for a while.
