They provide a great service to people like you and I who use their transport, washrooms etc. If they were not paid well they would not do their jobs and the BART system would be in disarray. They deserve pay increases just like everyone else.

Clearly you have never used a BART washroom, my friend. Though, the confusion is understandable, since BART stations tend to smell like washrooms outside the washrooms too.

Tell me more about what a good job BART employees do.

BART has public washrooms? I thought they were all closed to the public. (I've only been in a handful of stations, and don't usually check out the washrooms, but I believe the montgomery street one has a sign on the door to that effect.)
I was under the impression that many of them were closed after 9-11. I was told by a BART employee that that is why the Berkeley BART bathroom has been closed for years.
There's an open one in Rockridge BART at least. Now that I think of it, that's the only station I've been in that has a bathroom.
