Bart Red Line

NOTE: I originally wrote this review on March 26, 2010, but Unilocal recently reclassified it as a review of the Richmond BART Station, which I’ve never used. Below my original review is an update.
===============
Ugh.
The most direct way for me to get from Civic Center BART to Downtown Berkeley BART is the Richmond-​Daly City Line, but whenever I’m waiting on the platform, I secretly hope that the Pittsburg/​Bay Point train will come first. Why?
Well, I generally love public transportation and will go out of my way to have an enjoyable and even meandering ride. But when I’m going to work, I stress out about being late – even if I know I’m going to be a half hour early. So I feel really guilty about letting a direct train pass by in hopes of a Pittsburg/​Bay Point train that may or may not come.
Also, the Richmond-​Daly City Line consistently runs the shortest trains during the day. In fact, I think this is the only line I’ve ever seen a three-​car BART train on.
The line’s only redeeming quality is one of its operators. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him, but he has what sounds like (over BART’s crappy PA system) a heavy Filipino accent. And by «heavy,» I mean ridiculously thick. He rolls the R’s on «Richmond» like no one you’ve ever heard. Like you didn’t know it was possible roll R’s. It sounds like «Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­ichmond.»
UPDATE: 3÷2÷2015

So I either lied or the Richmond-​Daly City Line has gotten much better. I now value sleep more than most things, and a direct ride to work means almost thirty minutes of nonstop napping. The Red Line is awesome, and I haven’t seen a short train on it in years.
