I read Dana Yates' story on BART with interest ( "Problems plague BART" in the March 2 edition of the Daily Journal). You are right on. I remember the little shuttle buses that used to meet every train. The service was fast and free. They would drop you off at that terminal you wanted or at least close by. Try riding the BART to Terminal 1; the bridge connecting the BART level to the terminal has not been constructed. Terminal 3 is blessed with a bridge across. You either have to take the Air Train, and take an elevator to the basement (wander through the parking structure), and make your way to Terminal 1. Or just walk to Terminal 1 from the International terminal. Recently, I tried to take BART after the train for travel on Alaska Airlines. All of the BART ticket machines except one were out of order. The elevators were totally confusing. On our return, the BART train scheduled to go to the Millbrae Station broke down resulting in a 30-minute delay. The service is just terrible. In addition, some of the BART trains were dirty and smelled of urine. Maybe we could get the shuttle buses back.
