​@@LosFlyingTurntables My wife, who used to be a regular on BART, stopped in 2019 after too many unsafe encounters. She would rather spend $100 on an Uber ride to SFO than $25 on BART. About a year ago, I asked her to take BART back from SFO after a vacation. It was a mistake. At one point, there were six drug users in the car and only four normal passengers. One of the users, paranoid and agitated, sat next to the door. He took off his shirt, dropped the contents of his backpack, including drugs and a 4-inch knife, and glared at anyone walking by. He was too high to manage putting his things back into the bag. Another drug user on that same ride dropped his (likely stolen) bike in the middle of the aisle and people needed to step over it to get to the door. After that, I never asked her to take BART again, and I have stopped using it myself.

BART is extremely safe these days. This case is definitely an exception rather than the rule. This is the first murder this year on BART. From the beginning of the year BART carried over 25 million passengers in the last six months. One murder for 25 million rides is extremely low for an urban rail system anywhere. Check the crime stats for the NY Subway, the DC Metro, the London Underground, or even the Tokyo Metro. BART is a loooooooot safer than your average subway, and by a very large margin. This is a very sad case, but let's not spread weirdo right wing propaganda about transit being unsafe when it very clearly isn't.

[@TohaBgood2]

@@alansnyder8448 Pre-pandemic BART and the BART of today are two completely different systems. Under pressure from the riders post-pandemic BART introduced police foot patrols in the trains and stations, fare inspectors, roving ambassadors/security guards, more cameras, universal cameras in trains, etc. etc. It's a much safer system than it ever was in the last 20-30 years.

[@donnaanderson2846]

The problem with BART police, is that they’re mostly there to catch people who don’t pay their fare. They’re less about public safety! This absolutely hurts that they weren’t there to keep this woman, and the rest of the public safe. We need our tax dollars to go towards securing our safety.

[@kenw.4539]

Actually, they almost never do that unless they witness the fare evasion directly.

[@TohaBgood2]

Yeah, BART cops don't do fare inspection at all. BART has completely separate uniformed fare inspectors that do the fare checking. But they don't look like cops. They have regular BART uniforms on and don't carry guns. BART cops are also known for being, if anything, too aggressive with perpetrators. If they see you doing something you're getting arrested and they won't be gentle either! The actual problem is that we don't have enough BART cops in the system. BART is a giant system with 50 stations in five different counties and three major cities that are open for 16-17 hours a day. BART simply doesn't have enough cops to cover every single station for the entire time that the system is open every day.

There’s no way to stop that from happening unless they have a FT police officer at every gate in every station which obvs they won’t do because it’s ridiculously expensive.

Don’t stand next to train tracks and if someone is behind you, make sure that you can see them and step away from them

It’s not the bart police, it’s the government of San Francisco sadly 😔

[@patrickpalmer5928]

We all know why they are not showing the photo of the suspect

[@briannolan7818]

I wonder what the murderer looks like, since they wouldn't show his face? I think we all know.

The media also need to be held both legally and financially accountable for their roles in helping create this violent crime epidemic.

[@terry_willis]

How? What are the roles?

[@joesmith3590]

Not covering based on race. Pushing not punishing crime based on race. The media is insanely guilty for everything happening now. Tied with teachers and progressives for the blame.

[@tanelijah1]

​@terry_willis blurring faces of perpetrators or not disclosing their identity,and gaslighting people into thinking there is no crime problem

[@terry_willis]

@@tanelijah1 Good points. Thanks for your reply.

For perpetrating the LIE that St George Floyd died by the police when in REALITY he overdosed on fentanyl and ASKED to be placed on the ground and was saying "I can't breathe" when he was in the police cruiser. But these evil LIARS made him a saint. All hell broke loose after that LIE. Black people committing MORE crime, no charges, EVERY COMMERCIAL HAS TO HAVE A BLACK PERSON IN IT or every black man gets a white woman. It's a hilarious Democrat promise. Social engineering done by the FAKE NEWS. They are the enemy of the people.

[@alfmagoo]

Another criminal will walk free. This poor lady. Californians won't recall these terrible prosecutors and judges.

[@beatricerigaud8942]

No Charges has been filed?!?! What country do we live in?

I always look around before the train comes because of these things

[@MiMiiViVi]

Why aren't there barriers along there so this can't happen. it's not the first time. surely, they can put up something to help and slow incoming trains.

I had a frigting experience on BART, and I refuse to use it ever again. The young lady that was decapitated years ago was horrific.. If you are alone, be cautious.

[@its-all-good]

BART police chief at 2:37 is delusional if he believes BART is the "safest way to travel". They are as well as city and state politicians are accountable for this lovely woman's death.

[@anthonyxavier6300]

Can't Bart put a barrier on the platform so at least these kind of incidents does not happen.

[@chriscordray8572]

That would be too safe to have a barrier that raises and lowers. And a elevated platform can easily have a barrier come up from below to block anyone on the tracks until the train stops. Why fix any issues with safety. It's about how much money they can make

[@rbebeabucay9356]

I heard that BART employees get raises quarterly! I don’t know how true that is. I haven’t done a research.

[@mirandaandrews2872]

My kid stopped an attack on the Max platform by screaming like a banshee. The attacker took off and another homeless person tackled her. No one did anything until my kid screamed.

​@@user-st6nt4ou6fyes the truth is mean-spirited. You can spot a leftist RESPONSIBLE for this chaos a mile away.

[@ralphw7454]

It’s ironic how the police would say this is a rare incident and not representative of the BART experience. But you can hear from fellow riders and people who do work at the station speak on how BAD IT IS!! How unsafe it is!!
