Scrolling through @SFBART Twitter memory lane

Last Updated On Sep. 14, 2020

When it comes to Twitter, we know our friends down the hall at @SFBART have some classic and memorable tweets. From brutally honest to downright hilarious, we decided to take a scroll down Twitter memory lane and share some of our favorite tweets.

Remember that brutally honest tweet when time stopped and we all gasped?

@shakatron BART was built to transport far fewer people, and much of our system has reached the end of its useful life. This is our reality.

Or that time when there was a transit poetry slam?

We challenge @metrolosangeles to a transit poetry slam. Haikus only.

Your move, LA.

The BARTmobile will be afoot again one day and doesn't really see into souls, we think.

Sleep tight, dear Metro
The BARTmobile is afoot
It sees into souls#transithaiku @metrolosangeles pic.twitter.com/qRHzLBDNG3

When smoking on BART is just a no-no, poetry is the way to go.

To keep things from going amiss
On BART please don't smoke cannabis
It stinks up the train
Maybe you can explain
This best @metrolosangeles

420 was a high for BART too, in terms of ridership.

Ridership for 4/20 was almost 420,000 (it was 421,578 exits). That’s *high* for a Friday. https://t.co/3ooVtNmq9I

There once was a Gingerbread Man on BART, for real.

The Gingerbread Man is riding BART this afternoon to spread holiday cheer and to hand out some swag. Sources tell us he’s en route to Civic Center.

If you see him, take a photo with The Gingerbread Man and tweet at us! Thanks to @SFBARTable for inviting him to ride BART. pic.twitter.com/rjgaaq7jzy

Who knew that leggings would be such an issue for some? BART allows them all.

Leggings are always allowed on BART. Leather leggings, fishnet leggings, athletic leggings, you name it. https://t.co/xoTfYNHjfq

Nothing is cuter than a family dressed up as a BART map, train, fare gate, and Clipper card.

So an AirPod leaves his owner for BART... But don't worry, it was rescued and returned.
