Update: Baby Born at BART Station

Were you at the San Leandro BART station this morning and did you notice a commotion? A BART spokesman says a baby was born there this morning. Spokesman Linton Johnson says the mother was at the top of the escalator with a 2-year-old child when she went into labor. A station agent and cop helped her before the paramedics arrived to deliver the baby girl. Johnson said the family was in good health at a hospital and added, "They were trying to keep it as private as one can at a busy BART station." Update: SFist contacted Bart to see if the newborn will get a lifetime pass. "The Board will have to make that decision," we're told,"the very first baby born on BART in 1996 was provided a lifetime pass, but she was the very first in the history of the system." Of course, this could lead to a trend of women trying to get their babies born on Bart trains. Bay Area ilk are already in the habit of eating their placenta. We sure don't want to slip and fall on it while exiting a Dublin-Pleasenton car.
