Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART

I love BART, and this podcast really helps me learn more about it. The podcast about maps is helpful because I like learning about them. It’s very cool!

A stupid podcast in which overpaid incompetents brag about innovations that public transportation providers in other countries discovered decades ago, such as clockface scheduling. (Incidentally, the episode about the new 2023 schedule is full of lies. At night and on weekends, you will still wait 30 minutes between trains in most parts of the system.) The worst part is that the participants don't realize how dumb they appear, when we compare the results of their efforts to results seen in other countries -- even in neighboring Canada, where the politics, the funding, and modal share (the percentage of trips on public transit versus in private cars) are as bad as in the United States. This show is nothing but public relations stunt, and it's a weak one, at that.

Please turn up the volume with the podcast. I can’t hear the podcast at the maximum volume from my AirPods because the trains are too loud. Thank you.

BART gets a bad rap, and this podcast helps to bring little know facts and figures involved in BART to light. An interesting and informative listen each week!
