Northern CA mixed commuter: bike to light rail, take train, get off train and bike to work....reverse.

Bikes are allowed on all cars except the first car and limited times on the major line (into San Francisco). Folding bikes are allowed any time, any train, any car.

We've had a technical problem on the train that's reduced trains on certain lines for a few weeks.

Add the cost of gas and it's more crowded these days.

Add new cyclists on BART especially new or newer riders who don't know how to position their bike to make seats available and WE are inconveniencing some passengers (I've seen some absolute doozies!!!).

I've just copied to my calendar the schedules of the major teams in the area. Why? Because when there's a home game at the hour I'm going home the train's always crowded. So I'll bike to work on days there is not a major game going on.
