Hey, look at that, it’s BART’s old brown carpet (yes, carpet) and brown seats from way back when! Actually, it wasn’t too long ago when trains looked like this.

We can almost smell them.

Who remembers this look?

It wasn’t yucky then – people knew how to respect things, and we enjoyed taking BART. I commuted for years and it was nice. Not like later.

Bring it back! Bart should have a retro car for boomers to ride in.

And the rules for the retro car, no bums and people with bad manners just like the old days.

I’d pay a quarter for that….

Before BART was a transport system for criminals and degenerates to go from bad neighborhoods to nice ones. To wreak havoc and destruction.

The BART trains and their surrounding conditions are an excellent example of the difference between how things once were and how they are now, nobody can tell me that things are better now. We have to get this ship righted or we’re headed for Road Warrior like living

@S…. I’ll age myself too. Anyone remember Eugene Caskey, the woodshop teacher at El Dorado with the mangled fingers on his right hand? At the time I was there he used to warn us not to play with blasting caps as he held up his hand to show everyone. The truth was he got his fingers caught in a Skillsaw when he was a Union carpenter. It made for a good story, not sure it kept anyone from playing with blasting caps. His story changed every couple of years about how he hurt himself, whatever was in vouge at the time.

Mr. Iverson, the woodshop teacher at Pine Hollow in the late 70s, ran his hand through the table saw the period before I had class. Blood everywhere when we got to class! Sad, but he came back to teach many more years.

He came back to teach without his middle finger.

I remember them removing houses in North El Cerrito for the Bart Station. I was Wee Lad at the time.

The Wizard February 10, 2023 - 9:25 AM - 9:25 AM

I did not remember blasting caps being a problem back then.

@S….Say hey Willie!

Ray McFroggy February 9, 2023 - 2:25 PM - 2:25 PM

Bring back the brown.
At least the s**t stains will blend in.

Juryisout February 9, 2023 - 3:33 PM - 3:33 PM

I rode BART when it opened just to check it out, it was clean, safe as well as all the stations and parking lots compared to nowadays I would gladly go back and take the brown seats and the clean and safe trains and stations compared to the crap it all has turned to.
Do people really care what color the seats were then or now, people herding into Bart cars like cattle surely don’t care what the color of the seats are then or now, but then again maybe the do..sad..very sad.

Anybody remember Johnny’s nightclub in Park & Shop?
How about the Matador in Mrtnz?
