Pretty clean.

This was my last "start" on the bart for my trip. I had been in town for an extended weekend and I thought that by walking to here I would save some fare on my BART trip to SFO. Wrong. It's the same fare. Or maybe a nickel less. Anyway...from what I remember of BART the last time I was on it, this station seems simple and pretty cool. It's not in the best of neighborhoods....someone on street level started to get into a fight for the strange round toilet. I didn't feel unsafe....but it was midday, so take that info with a grain of salt. When I was there...there were no "escalators" running down where I went. No biggie for me, but it might be a little tougher for those who aren't as mobil as I am. I just lugged my luggage down the steps. As far as I can tell. Not a bad bart station at all.

Welcome to the world's grossest train station. The cars smell like vomit-inducing windex and do be prepared to be accosted by zombie-like homeless people. Listen, I'm all for being PC and appropriate, but the station and the outside surroundings are sh*t. I'm from New York and I've encountered my fair share of "danger" in Harlem and the Bronx. However, the homeless people here are aggressive and seriously scary, more likely because they are on substances. A guy stood right next to us, smoking his crack pipe like it was okay. An injured man was on the floor while civilians tried to waive down police officers who casually drove by. A crazy person screamed at me. Enough said. U B E R away because that taco and burrito are not worth your life. FYI - our crime app alerts went off the roof when we were here and someone was slashed on the street corner where we caught our uber. I'm never coming back!

The 16th Street Bart will lead you to the heart of the Mission, as well as to the Mecca of all things that smell like urine. And it totally makes sense, right? Due to its high traffic, it's not as well kept as other stations with plastic bottles, crumpled newspapers, that random pair of stained underwear, and other miscellaneous trash. Unlike other Bart locations, stay away from this before venturing to this neighborhood to eat if at all possible. Your appetite will thank you. But, hey, convenience often trumps nasty smells, and I would venture there again if need be. And that long escalator to ground level is quite dramatic. Oh, and the local art seen upon exit is nice, too.

We have become cynical about the public good, and that is a loss; the social contract is made real through infrastructure projects. I have used the Civic Center station probably a couple hundred times. It used to be, for a decade, the closest to my workplace. I am quite familiar with it. That includes at all hours. Despite my fondness for mass transit, I have to report that this station is probably the single worst of those I know well. I swear this is true, and you can confirm it easily enough on the internet: the elevators have broken down due to human feces being stuck in the machinery. There is just an overwhelming population of troubled souls in the neighborhood. They need help; I describe the situation not to condemn the individuals but to lament the state of our diverse democracy. I still use Civic Center. I would not warn people away. I would say that if you are not comfortable with the Muni or BART to begin with, you will have qualms about this specific site. That is all.

I had and continue to have so many misgivings about the Central Subway project (spending $1.6…read morebillion for 1.7 miles of tunnel and only three new stations is a horrible waste of taxpayer money). But it's over now, and I can't deny that at least two of the three new stations are great, and I like that the T-Third Street is finally its own line again--plus its new route makes more sense than its original route. The worst thing about this station is its name. Stop using slashes in the names of transit stops! And transit lines, while you're at it. In most cases, the slash is to include additional information (which is why a slash is bad, because slashes mean either/or, while hyphens [-] *can* mean and, but they don't always), but in this case, they just chose Yerba Buena and Moscone. Huh? Yerba Buena what? Island? Avenue? Gardens? Center for the Arts? And you mean Moscone Center, right? Well, anyone who knows what and where the Moscone Center is also knows about all the Yerba Buena stuff, and vice versa. So why not just choose one name? Moscone Station. See? I solved that for you. Back to the station itself. Almost a year after opening (and before the pre-APEC deep clean), it was still practically spotless. There isn't too much graffiti, and the station itself is gorgeous, from the platform to the mezzanine to the escalators and stairs to the small area with public art at street level. The station is much deeper underground than I expected it to be. There's plenty of room at the bottom of the stairs and escalators, so it should never really feel crowded, except possibly on the platform at times. Realistically, I probably won't catch or get off the train at this station very often, but it's neat that it's here. While they're still clean, you should check out all three new stations.

Very clean and easy to navigate. It was our first time riding so we had high hopes and were not…read moredisappointed.
