If you typically take the Bay Bridge to get to work, then your commute looked a little different.
For regular BART riders, things got a little...nuts:
Where do I even begin? First, the parking situation! Everyone probably
purchased a one day reserved parking pass and there were no spaces left
by the time I got there! Good thing I set aside some extra time to
circle the vicinity and found 3/4 of a space that I managed to squeeze
into. My doors have little dents already so what's one more?? Then, the
dangerously crowded platform. It was chaotic. Lines were forming from
all directions.
By the time the train arrived, it was already
max capacity. In the specific car I was lined up in front of, all 12-15
of us managed to squeeze on. Keep in mind that Orinda is usually not
that crowded! I was practically hugging the woman in front of me--
thank goodness she was clean and pleasant, and even told me that if I
needed to, I can grab on to her arms or her gym bag.
It took this BART Musings contributer an hour and a half to get to work today.How was your commute today?
