Two strangers, both tackling the New York Times crossword, meet on an empty BART train at 4:30 in the morning at SFO. The woman, a psychologist, is organized and rational. The man, unemployed, is flighty and free-spirited. They spar, attacking one another’s views and values, only to find themselves changed as the eighty-minute train ride comes to an end at the last stop on the line – Pittsburgh/Bay Point Station.
Train Operator Shinita Garza knows that a warm demeanor can make a world of difference. “A friendly smile will keep you ten steps ahead of the game,” she said.
For this iteration of “Ten Questions,” Shinita reveals her favorite songs to sing while working, what you’ll find in her cab, and why she recently had to chase a Pomeranian. The conversation has been edited for clarity.

“Take your BART, please!”
If memes existed in the late 1980s, comedian Henny Youngman would undoubtedly have become one with these four words – a take on his signature phrase, “Take my wife, please.”
The commercials aired on every major news and radio station in the Bay Area – not in the ad space necessarily, but as the story, according to former BART Director of Public Affairs Michael Healy. The ads, along with midday fare reductions at the time, are likely responsible for increasing BART’s daily ridership by about 4,000 people in the late 1980s.

Though known for its WWII-era shipyards and maritime scene, Richmond, Calif. is so much more than its shipbuilding past.
First settled by the Ohlone tribe around 5,000 years ago, Richmond has laid host to Spanish explorers, the western terminus of the Santa Fe Railroad, a massive refinery, and one of the largest Black populations in the state.
Food, arts, and culture has sprung up over the years, making Richmond a new destination for Bay Area residents and out-of-towners alike.
