BART is getting on my damn nerves
May 15th, 2008 by dino-ray
I am usually a loyal rider of BART. But as of late, my faith in the stink-happy trains of the Bay Area Rapid Transit has been dwindling at a steady pace because of the following:
1.) Last week, when I was riding BART, for the first time EVER, a train broke down, making me late for my interview with Stacy and Clinton from “What Not to Wear.” Luckily, it broke down at an actual station and not in the middle of the trans-bay tube or mid-route. Unluckily, this was the start of my demise of the Bay Area Rapid Transit.
2.) Just today, while riding BART from Walnut Creek, the train kept on starting and stopping - which was really annoying. To make matters worse, the train I was on had no air conditioning and it was fucking hot. Remember how I said it was fucking hot today? Well I am saying it again. It’s fucking hot. To neutralize the situation, I walked into another car where there was air conditioning. But the guy with the ill-fitting suit I was sitting next to didn’t realize I was sitting next to him because his Dorito-smelling ass was taking up three-quarters of the seat - and he wasn’t even portly.
3.) The third strike also happened today. On the way back from my interview with a rep from Ford Models (there was a male model contest at the Diesel store), the train was PACKED because BART was running unbelievably late. It was REALLY packed. It was the most packed that I have ever seen BART. It was so packed that I was treated to the stank-ass spoiled onion armpit smell of this guy next to me. Oh yeah, it was fucking hot too.
Well, they say all bad things happen in threes, so these little BART mishaps doesn’t really mean I am going to stop riding BART. Even though my faith is kind of low to the semi-reliable public transportation provider, I am sure something will happen soon that will rekindle my faith.
