Today on BART the train operator made an announcement that "bikes are not allowed on any train during peak commute times

Those of you in the Bay Area know that bikes are allowed on any train but the first car, just not during peak times and directions on the SF line.

I was on the Richmond line.

alrighty then.

So I thought "self? should I say anything?" and I go to the intercom to the driver at the end of the car and I ask him "you just said bikes are not allowed on the train. I'm looking at the bikes on BART poster, it says something like this 'bikes are allowed on any car but the first car, and not during peak times in peak directions on the SF line.' This is the Richmond train right?"

crackle crackle

"uh, yes"

"so bikes are allowed, yes?"

"uhm, well I there was this pasenger complained and..."

"I bike to work often and don't want to get hassled by a passenger who heard that we are not allowed so to clarify...we are allowed unless it's too crowded right?"

"uh, yeah"

"thanks"

A passenger seated nearby me gives me a thumbs up.

A few moments later the driver announces "Attention, this is a correction to the earlier announcement...." he makes the correction and apologizes.

Same passenger smiles, two thumbs up

I went back to the intercom and thanked him.

He says he usualy drives the SF train and gets confused driving different lines.

I laughed and asked, "now you remember which track we're on now right?"
