SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (BCN) – BART said Tuesday that it is making weekly online charts available to the public showing the typical number of people riding trains on its lines at various times so that riders returning to the system can make safe choices about when to commute during the novel coronavirus emergency.
The figures in each chart are “an estimation calculated from fare gate information and assumes passengers are evenly spread through all cars on a train,” the transit district said in a news release. “In practice, you’ll find more passengers on the middle cars, and fewer on the front and rear cars of a train.”
