    Looks like a good morning to me!
    Rick P.

    Station Agent upgrade alert! The last agent was great to be sure but Eric is BACK! Now, for those of you who don't know Eric he's the best at what he does. Many other do what Eric does but none have ever risen to the level of human being that Ron has! I will now leave the house a minute or two early, just for 60 seconds of Eric! Try him out! Give him a look in the eye! Going a bit deep here but that's how I roll. The world is full of good people and people and also people with challenges. People like Eric give me confidence that we can work with what we have. BART presents surprise encounters with different challenges and people each day. Every day, every ride. Station agents do NOT have it easy so I encourage you to at least give a thumbs up on the way to or from the platform. If they aren't having challenges at the moment, they're soon to come. Thanks Eric, for being and island of sanity for us. Thanks to all of the station agents!

    If you arrive after 5pm you will not be able to access your car. This is NOT Bart parking.

    I don't know where to put this piece of advice. As a word of caution, if you pay for parking on the Bart app, do not park in the underground lot at 1400 San Leandro Blvd that is labeled "BART PARKING around the corner" and has the official BART logo etched into the glass doors. It is a scam. That is a privately owned garage. I parked my car there mistaking it for long term parking. The garage was open and I drove in. When I returned from my trip, I was unable to get my car out and I had 3 hefty parking tickets. I had to talk to the apartment manager who let me into the lot but I was still unable to get my car out for 1.5 hours. The parking company was refusing to let me out unless I paid the tickets and the only reason I got out was because the sympathetic apartment manager asked them to let me out because I had my 6 year old and my luggage from the airport with me.

    Date: 7/8/2017 Time: 4:45 PM 77° Sunny I have been to this station a few times in the past, as in pre-Yelp days. The station is okay. It is either the same or slightly better than other BART Stations throughout the BART system. My husband and I decided to catch the BART train at this station on our way to the county fair in Pleasanton. We chose to use public transportation to the fair this year instead of facing the difficulty of traffic congestion, parking at the fairgrounds and the price to park the car ($15 or more). There's plenty of parking in the rear at this station. The front of the station leads to San Leandro Blvd. Compared to some of the stations in Oakland and San Francisco, it is cleaner and does not have the pissy aroma that I have come across. I can't say too much as to what it's like in the evening. I only been out at this station once in the evening. All I saw were lines of taxi cabs waiting to transport people to their destination. The good thing is at least the escalators are working to get my husband and me up and down from the train platform.

    Just needed to make a quick stop to see if I had enough funds on my clipper card. They're doing a lot of construction around the Bart station. It's been going on for awhile now but it looks nice.

    As far as Bart stations go - one of the better stops. Bridge tolls went up - this is one way to…read moreavoid them. CA voters approved a series of bridge toll increases one this year and I think one or two more to go. I have a feeling people who have the morning commute and have to cross it everyday voted for the increase in hopes that it would make the commute faster as people would choose other options. If you park your car all day at Bart I would suggest not driving a truck or old Honda or any other popular vehicle. I think a five year old Hyundai would be optimal - nobody would want one of those even for free. As you sit on your Bart train soak in the sights and smells of fellow passengers. I've got one friend who used to use the train every day because it was reliable in getting him to work on time. He suggested putting in ear phones and avoiding eye contact. I really don't take Bart enough to give such insightful advice - I'm more in awe or bewilderment how when the trains go around bends - all the noises - the grinding - its terrible. Its something you would expect from a much lesser country - not the U S of A.

Today, I had an unfortunate experience with two BART station attendants at the Millbrae station. To be clear, nothing egregious happened -- it wasn't discriminatory or overtly hostile -- but the interaction was so unhelpful and dismissive that it made me question BART's training standards and the role these attendants are meant to play. I recently moved near the Millbrae station and was looking into BART's bike lock options so I could bike to the station and ride to work. After arriving during an off-peak hour, I approached the station attendants' booth to ask about how the BART bike lockers work. Now, to give you more context, these station attendants were not really that busy. This was an off-peak time, there was no one really at the booth, and honestly they were just looking at each other not even facing the window and overall shooting the crap. I went up to them, and it took a while for them to notice me, but eventually after 30 seconds the white woman ended up coming to the glass. I asked the woman, "Do you know anything about the bike stations? I just moved here and wanted to get more information." She responded that she had no idea how they worked and that she'd go online. That is a reasonable response - she redirected me. Personally, though, I was perplexed that she didn't know... from first principles, these people are here I imagine a few hours a day and I thought they'd know how their station works. But you can't expect everyone to know everything. What made me more annoyed was after - she said BART has zero dealings with bike locks and completely separate. I would've accepted this answer, but after I walked I away, with a quick Google search, 5 seconds later, found that BART Station Locked Parking is actually BART sponsored or at least mentioned on the website. I then went back and said, "It turns out they are a part of BART." She said something along the lines of, "That's your problem". At that point, I asked, "Okay, just for reference in the future, what are the things I can come to you for help with?" She abruptly said she was done talking and shut off her microphone and went back to chit chatting with her co-worker. I tried to clarify, asking, "Could I ask you about trains, lines, or timings if I needed - as in, what can you help me with if I needed?" -- but she turned away, left the mic off. Her coworker looked at me like a zoo animal and laughed after I asked what questions I could ask them. Pic of the lady attendant turning her back / muting her mic. And her partner laughing. I found this to be an extremely disappointing interaction. When I turned to the station attendants with a question - who I thought would be stewards of the BART Station - turned it out to be a very humiliating experience. I looked on the BART website, and part of their mission is to hire people to "make the best transit system in the world". I'm extremely disappointed that it seemed to me, they didn't really give a crap about helping anyone. By the end of it, I walked away and found the information I needed on my own. Still, it was frustrating knowing that even if I had questions about basic travel or service, the station attendant refused to engage. There are always two sides to a story, and I've tried to recount mine objectively. I was confrontational about what I could ask -- but I guess it wasn't "worth their time". Overall, it was an unhelpful and discouraging experience. At the very least, I expected a professional response such as, "I'm not sure, but let me check the website," or "Here's where you can find that information." Instead, my questions about what questions I could ask were met with the mic being turned off and laughter from the other attendant. For a system that aims to "make the best transit system in the world," these two employees made me feel like I wasn't welcomed as a rider.

If you are taking taking the ferry/bart from the city, spending a day near Lake Merritt, Old Oakland, City Center, Chinatown or Jack London Square, this free service allows you to roam up and down downtown length of Broadway fairly easily. There are a dozen or so stops-pretty much located by anything you'd want to go to. There are some flaws. The scheduled time of one bus every 15 minutes doesn't always happen. Most times you are looking at a 20-30 minute wait. It can be super packed, especially the stretch that runs by Chinatown, so it's highly likely you'll be standing or at least sharing a not very comfortable seat most of the way. Some of the drivers are super professional others not so much. Mostly however it's pretty awesome. For one it's free and allows you to easily roam all over downtown Oakland. This makes it easy to bounce down to Chinatown or swans market form the office buildings near lake merrit for lunch or dinner, or a spot of shopping. Handy for getting to jack london square or the amtrak station as well. Perfect for happy hour bar hops. Did I mention the free part? 'Cause that's the best thing evah.

Plenty of parking, 250 spaces, no overnight parking allowed. 20 bike racks available, the ferry is bike friendly as well. 24 bike lockers available. AC Transit = 21 line. Public restrooms, don't expect much. Service - 5 stars. My favorite form of travel, especially with the continued discounted price. It has gone back up slightly, but still very affordable. Thank you. Approximately 20 minutes to get to SF. Also, since I have lived in Alameda, the ferry service has always been on time. This ferry, similar to Sea Plane, operates only Monday to Friday. So if you go on a weekend, you need to take the main ferry. Price - $4.70 one way with a clipper card. Still almost 50% off versus pre-pandemic prices, thank you. Also just discovered the main ferry only cost $1 to go to Jack London Square; so why am I still driving to the Rosenblum winery???

I'm glad my friend suggested we take a trip to the City via ferry...sure, i was a bit hesitant but got over any anticipation anxiety and enjoyed the trip immensely. It wasn't bad at all! Fortunately, the water was calm, staff super friendly and helpful, ferry clean and just a fun and scenic leisure day!

I would highly recommend being a tourist for the day as sometimes, we take for granted the fun things you can do in our own City. The ride back about 20 mins) around 4:40 pm wasn't busy with plenty of seating available. Paper tickets can be purchases on the Ferry or get that Clipper card which is an all-in-one transportation, form of contactless payment. Makes it super convenient. Round trip fare under $10. https://www.clippercard.com/ClipperWeb/get.html Drinks and light snacks offered for purchase, restrooms available on the vessel.
