I appreciate the Shrute bucks reference.

What an interesting idea to have a BART rewards credit card. 2,500 points for a $25 BART ticket is not a bad offer. Sure makes-up for not offering all-day passes, or a flat fare rate like NYC. For standard purchases, it uses the standard industry 1% of all purchases, but I must say that I'm impressed that you get 5% of BART related purchases. Just spending $500 on BART tickets alone gets you that $25 Bart ticket, plus if you use the credit card and purchase the high value tickets (with the small percentage bonus), sure makes the deal sweeter. Too bad I can't get that card, I'm stuck on an airline miles credit card, and when the heck am I gonna fly?

I use the Ferry Building bathroom all the time and find it quite clean, actually. I don't hesitate in the least. I would love to be able to say that about Muni or BART.

Filthiest bathrooms in the world are in China. Even in middle class places like department stores its hard to believe

I'm sure many of BART's passengers will be happy to know that people with perfect credit can now spend money to earn free rides.

No, number 3, it's a valid comparison. Third World toilets lacking sufficient plumbing or enforceable building and/or health codes are not exactly rare and unworthy of stereotype mention. That doesn't mean they're all like that, but plenty are. You may, however, stomp your feet and hold your breath and shout otherwise if you wish. You may also clap your hands if you believe in faeries.

(i hate having post this but being from the Third World) What does that line mean? I mean really? With plenty of examples of bad bathrooms all over the City. arg forget it. The thing is I'm not offended, it's just lazy.

I've used a BART bathroom once, at one of the El Cerrito stations. Yeah, they really are that bad. Since then, every time I need to go..."on one hand, possible bladder damage from holding it in...on the other hand, having to go in there..."

The Ferry Building's bathrooms have their disgusting times too ... usually when the homeless folks have stuffed the sink drain with paper towels so the can kinda launder their disgusting smelling blankets and other paraphenalia. With all of the non-profits in this town set up to help homeless folks, do they not have laundry facilities too? By the way, since many of the homeless live at the Main Public Library during the daylight hours, I am all for providing some sorta shower/bathing spot.
