BART
My first two normal BART rides in just about forever.
Aka: no needing to help tourists and other first-timers, no putting up with big group field-trippers/people who are totally dumb about unofficial public transit rules and/or crowd up entire platforms and half the stairs at bart stations (namely, downtown Berkeley every freaking day last week), no people who bother with loud, moderate-to-very personal phone conversations, no passed-out people, no getting stopped by the police, no passive and/or aggressive panhandlers walking down aisles and/or “I need to collect $38 more dollars or I can’t get a room for me and my kids tonight” stories, no weird comments or hysterics or divas or “chatty” people, no, uh, harassers who happen to also very conveniently get off at the same stop you do, etc.
No good stories to tell but it’s not bad either.
