Rude employee from a booth giving me attitude for no reason!
Kethen H.

08/11/24, 08:37AM, rude worker "what are you doing" instead of can I help you! Unprofessional worker came out of booth. Obviously, I am trying to scan my clipper from my phone (sometimes it takes few minutes to sync).

Today's experience at the Montgomery Street BART station was surprisingly benign. I've been here during a zombie apocalypse, so a quiet Sunday is a welcomed thing. A three-star review of a downtown San Francisco BART station is likely very short-lived.

Whenever I fly into SFO Airport, this is usually the BART station where I get off when heading over to my hotel. The current cost for the ride is $10. There are several kiosks in the station for you to purchase your fare or to reload your Clipper card. There's a nearby McDonald's where I usually grab an iced coffee.

I'm absolutely in trouble here. The BART is beyond backed up.

The escalator at this station has been out for awhile. It cause huge lines and impatient people. Now they have one train out of commission. The train just showed up and it is so packed that only a small handful could get on. At the 5 pm hour this is happens quite a bit.

One of the better places to pick up the outbound trains to Oakland, Richmond, Fremont, or Dublin. Located next to the Financial District, and shopping areas on Market Street. The entrances are located at Post St and Market St, Montgomery St and Market St, and Market St on the Bay Bridge side of the street. So, basically you can access it thru 3 different streets depending on your location, and you can use it to cross Market St by going under the street, if you want. This location is 1 of 4 downtown BART stations (Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell, Civic Center). All 4 Downtown Stations are priced the same, no matter where you came from OR from which station you disembark or embark. e.g. From Coliseum Station/OAK Airport, the one-way price to any of these 4 stations is $10.95 or $21.90 round trip. Just depends where you want to go. Have fun riding BART! It is an experience you don't want to miss.

YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2018 - 95/100. Just like most underground Bart stops, Montgomery isn't that far off different from the ones I've been too. It needs better lighting and definitely needs to get brighten up, even just a bit. And of course, there's that familiar smell of hash lingering all over the place. But it is convenient if your goal for the day is Union Square and SOMA. Only a few blocks away from SFMOMA as well. I've never experienced going through here during rush hour. But I never plan to. Let's hope I never have to!

This review is for the Montgomery Street Station, more specifically the Montgomery Bart Station. I have been using this station since the late 1980's and it has been one of my favorite stations. It is the closest station to my home in North Beach and is within walking distance for me. There are also some stores near the station that I shop at fairly frequently, such as Target Express, CVS, and a 7 Eleven. Too bad the nearby Diaso recently closed. Caffe Bianco, where I used to work as a supervisor, is also near this station. I forgot to mention that there is also a See's Candies, Bank of America, Patrick & Co and a McDonald's nearby. This station is fairly clean and I rarely have any problems with any of the machines or encounter any "unusual" or hostile persons.

The Montgomery BART station is one of the more crowded BART stations I've been in. Then again, I've only been in three (Montgomery, Powell, and Rockridge) and this was during evening rush hour on a Wednesday night. It cost $3.55 for one person to board the Pittsburg/Bay Point line to Rockridge station. I found that a little odd because, just a couple days earlier, it cost the exact same amount from Powell station, which is one stop south. The train waiting/boarding area reminded me of a nicer Atlanta MARTA train station with glossy brick flooring, concrete everywhere, and overall drab appearance. However, it was much cleaner and the patrons were less sketchy. Lots of professionals. Montgomery station is in the heart of the Financial District after all. It took no more than 5-8 minutes for the Pittsburg/Bay Point-bound train to arrive and there were a lot of people already on-board. Fortunately, we found seats. We must've boarded an old train because the carpet at our feet and the cloth at our seats and backs was worn out. Regardless, BART did its job. It was safe, reliable, and economical.

Opens 11am what kind of hrs

Went to try to get a bunch of old small amount on tickets to redeem for a $10 Bart ticket at the My Transit Plus booth. They open at 11am-7pm, close for lunch 2-3pm. It was 10:50am and I decided to wait because I was first in line! I had a bunch of old tickets over $10 total and the lady still made me pay $2.90 because they were paid by credit card and she couldn't take them. That's bogus because you can't get refund on them, she just told me to add more money to those tickets, so lame! I should have given all the pennies I had for that $2.90 charge but I didn't want to hold up the line any longer than I had to. Bart is way overpriced, but it's what we got for getting from East Bay to SF without driving all the way.

Proof that I got my bag!
Henrietta P.

On May 13, 2022 I forgot my bag in a bart and I had my MacBook laptop, AirPods Pro, ID, Debit card, and other personal items in there. I forgot it in a bart in Richmond and I didn't realize until I got back to the city that I left it on the bart. I was worried and scared because the first thing that popped in my head is that someone took it. First thing I did was to talk to someone at the bart station and Christina from the Montgomery Bart Station worked her magic and managed to locate my bag with the help of a lady named Ray from the Warms Springs bart station! Thank you Christina! Christina really came through for me. She was professional and very knowledgeable and she has a beautiful heart because she saved me a lot of money for sure. Thank you Christina of the Montgomery Bart Station! I appreciate you and forever will be grateful. She also called a day later to check and see if I got my bag which to me is great customer service! Nothing was taken from my bag! I was able to track my bag because of my fully charged AirPods so that helped a lot with tracking where and which bart station my bag was at. Thank you again to Christina! You the best girl!

The train goes "Beep beep, WOOSHHHHH!!!"

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.

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.
