BART to limit free rides on "Spare The Air" days
You can still ride for free on BART during Spare The Air days -- but only until 1pm, and I couldn't be happier about that. The transit agency said that between all the complaints from regular riders and the increase in petty theft on those days that enough was enough. I've had the occasion to ride on two free BART days so far and I vowed to swim across the Bay and then walk to my destination before I'd consider doing it again. Crowded, late trains turned into instant rolling asshole conventions thanks to bored teenage kids with nothing better to do. No thank you.
SFGate: Spare The Air trims will limit free rides
Also joining in on the 1pm cutoff are Caltrain, Altamont Commuter Express and all ferry operators. All other transit agencies will continue to allow all-day joyrides.
