BART riders say security improving with new fare gates

[@lukeisagiantsfan]

I'm pleasantly surprised with BART's service lately. The last few trains that I have ridden have been clean and on time with no riders vaping or playing loud music. Credit where credit is due, hope that this marks a turning point for them.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I'm curious why BART is in that kind of shape when the system in Seattle isn't. Even though around here there's been a lot of the same BS going on where they won't arrest people for shoplifting and a bunch of the police have retired or quit due to the lack of support and funding.

I was on the Pittsburg to Walnut Creek BART on 10/09. Some guy was going through some personal stuff and yelling on his phone. Even bashing his phone against the wall. Some did call the BART Police and when the BART officer was asking around, a lady said the guy was loud. The officer said that it wasn't against the law to be loud, BUT he would check with the guy. The officer calmly talked to the guy and got him off the train. Honestly, I was surprised... BART Police did a good job. It would be easy to drag the guy off the train, but the officer was like, "You doing alright? Let's talk out here and see what we can take care of!". Professional and handled greatly with attention towards the person's struggle.

These are similar to the gates we have in the Netherlands. Petty people will just tackle or kick the doors down.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

TBH, I'm not really sure what the point of that is. When I visited Italy 25 years ago the area I was in didn't bother with anything like this. They would just pull over buses at random and everybody on it had better have their ticket with them or get ticketed. It's a similar system to what we use here for our BART equivalent and as long as you have a way of tracking the people evading and ticketing them, there's no real problem. The problem comes when you're not checking fares often enough or tracking the people being caught to deter them from evading fares. At the end of the day, turnstiles and gates slow people's access to the system and aren't necessarily going to catch people that are determined whereas checking everybody on certain trains does catch enough people to keep it at bay,, assuming you're doing it enough, with sufficient consequences and tracking.

common sense to ride the trains and be at platforms

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I'm surprised they weren't doing that. Here in Seattle we have both transit cops and fare enforcement that are regularly on the light rail and in the stations. I usually see at least one or two when I'm waiting for my train and I'm usually not waiting for my train for more than a few minutes. An open system where people can get directly on the trains is great for efficiency, but that has to be paired with regular ticket checks of enough trains that people know that they're running a significant risk of being caught and subjected to a significant penalty.

In New York, the MTA decided to put in full height faregates and the problem shifted to emergency exits. If they did what Japan does, have faregates that only close when a valid ticket or card is not inserted or tapped before passing through, then it would be more of a deterrent because one can't just run through to cheat the system.
