The sounds of Reggae, Jazz, and Folk music will bring joy to BART riders in the month of October as the latest “welcome back” gesture by the agency to encourage the return to transit and reinforce the role public transit plays in fueling the Bay Area’s economy and culture.
BART and Taylor Street Production are launching the “Sound Tracks” Music Program featuring diverse lineup of local musicians on Thursdays in October from 5:00 to 6:30 pm at four stations next month:
