“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.
