10. Install train time boards by the ticket machines
How many times have you needed to add $5 to your ticket but weren’t sure when the next train was coming? We get it; you can pull out your phone and look it up. But wouldn’t it be nice if there was a big departures board when you walked up to the station so you could check right there? It’s not a necessity, but it sure would be a nice convenience.

If there’s even a hint of rain, it seems like BART is delayed 10 minutes. There’s got to be a way to prevent the entire system from slowing down every time it sprinkles.

7. Guarantee that the security cameras are actually working — and real
The Chronicle revealed in January 2016 that less than one-third of BART cars had real and functioning cameras. BART promised to remedy that ASAP, but a third of cars still don’t have security cameras. BART’s sworn this project will be done by July, and we’ll be keeping an eye on this one. It’s a major security issue.

You may not actually go deaf riding BART twice a day, but it sure isn’t pleasant to listen to the trains squeal through the Transbay Tube. Rail-grinding machines smooth the rails and reduce the noise of steel wheels on steel rails, a maintenance project that BART should commit to on a regular basis to keep things quiet.

... more5. Add late-night Friday and Saturday service
Who among us hasn’t had to cut short weekend plans to try to catch the last BART train? Unfortunately, because BART has to shut down at night for maintenance — the single-track nature of the system means there's no way for regular operation and maintenance to happen simultaneously — there can't be 24-hour service. But at least a few more hours on a Friday or Saturday night would be great.

Does anyone remember the last time the Powell St. escalators were all operational? How about any of the elevators? Old escalators and elevators simply need to be replaced; spot-fixes clearly aren’t cutting it. Bond money has been set aside to replace escalators in six heavily trafficked stations, but we'd like to see reliable people-movers everywhere. Clean, operational elevators are especially crucial for disabled riders, who have no other way of getting to and from platforms without them.

With new trains on the way, there’s no good reason why all commute trains shouldn’t be 10 cars long. Anyone who’s tried to cram onto an eight-car train at 8:30 a.m. knows that this is a pressing need — and hopefully a very do-able change.

We get it. This one’s not happening. But how amazing would it be if when there was a problem in the tube, the entire system didn’t grind to a halt? Routing trains in and out of San Francisco by multiple tubes would circumvent so many problems.

... morePolice are investigating a hate crime after a suspect dressed in a security uniform allegedly attacked a man at a BART station in San Francisco on Monday night and called him anti-gay slurs, officials said.
The incident occurred about 11:25 p.m. at the Powell Street BART station, police said.
The victim, whose name was not released, was standing on the train platform when the man walked up to him, shouted homophobic slurs at him and punched him in the face, police said.
As the victim went to the station agent’s booth to report the crime, the suspect fled on a Pittsburg/Bay Point train. Police stopped the train at the MacArthur BART station in Oakland, but were unable to find attacker.
The suspect was described as 5-feet-8, 135 pounds and was wearing a black security uniform with a silver badge on the right side.
