This is perhaps more specious than the "cops don't want to do their jobs because people are just too mean to them" song and dance. At the risk of putting too fine a point on it BART is not run as part of any city government, San Francisco or otherwise. You're pretty much tilting at windmills here.

Besides this sort of thing is well beyond the scope of folks creating subscription based fruit juicers.

Gotcha. BART being funded by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District is something I'd forgotten, and does make my point a lot less salient. It's been a long time since I was in SF, so it's possible my assessments here are way off base.

The main observation I was trying to make is that the public/private sector has always seemed to have a harder time working hand-in-hand in the Bay Area than it does in other cities I've lived in, whatever that reason may be.
