Meet the Bay Area Residents Fighting Discrimination on Public Transit
Locals and officials teamed up in support of inclusivity on BART.
The San Francisco Bay Area’s Rapid Transit System, BART, just rolled out a new poster campaign focused on inclusivity. Its theme is “The Bay Area Rides Together.” One poster features a bunch of hands reaching up; another shows a diverse selection of passengers over the words: “On this train, everyone is welcome.”
But there’s a backstory, and it speaks to how grassroots efforts to create change can make waves, even in major municipal transport systems like BART.
