Bobster1985 posted this AWESOME video from 1968 about the construction of BART. We had no idea that the conditions underground were so challenging -- apparently the air pressure was so different that the workers needed to hang out in a pressurized chamber before moving between the surface and tunnel. Neato. And if you haven't had enough, you can view a clip from a 1967 movie about BART here.......

Apparently 511 just installed new arrival-time screens at a kiosk somewhere around Embarcadero, but we're skeptical. (Surprise!) Muni has scrolling LEDs in all the subway stations, but most of the time they're just reminding you about Proof of Purchase. And BART has the same problem: info screens so cluttered with reminders about tickets and pickpockets that they almost never show arrival estimates, or even the current time. But hey, this is 511 we're talking......
