And the whole Starbucks deal, is nothing more than to get people to go there to also get some more expensive coffee. Great deal. Though Starbucks coffee is good. ]]>Feb 2nd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/Feb 2nd 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/
Yo idjits! There is no such thing as San Francisco's BART. The BA stands for Bay Area, it covers many counties, there are as many stops in Oakland as SF, and it goes to several other decent size cities. Oh, and by the way, BART is headquartered in Oakland.]]>Feb 2nd 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/Feb 21st 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/
However if you try to commute to form almost any end-point on the BART system, to any other end-point (OTHER then SF) and you have to change trains two or three times and experience a minimum of 20-30 minutes of transfer delay. effectively BART is the SF commuter rail.

Oakland is one of the few exceptions where all the lines cross and its convenient in any direction, and even the Dublin-Pleasanton line only hits West Oakland. If you ever use the train systems in other first world countries you would find BART a joke (UK, Singapore, Japan, etc.)

Like it or not, everything in the Bay Area will always be associated with or assigned to San Francisco. It wasn't a slight on the (ick) East Bay. Though BART is one think Oakland can have. It isn't the slightest bit useful to anyone who actually lives in San Francisco (but then, it wasn't ever supposed to be).]]>Feb 3rd 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/
That sounds good. Let's have

San Francisco's Google, Yahoo, and Ask
San Francisco's Wine Country
San Francisco's Stanford University
San Francisco's Berkeley (both city and university)
San Francisco's Oakland Raiders (don't want them to be without a football team when the 49'ers move)
San Francisco's Golden State Warriors (used to be in SF anyway)
San Francisco's Zoo that doesn't have tigers that escape from their pens
San Francisco's Chez Panisse & French Laundry Restaurants

Atleast in NYC they could use the third rail for BPL (Broadband over power lines).]]>Feb 3rd 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/Feb 3rd 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/Feb 3rd 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/
I mean... Oakland.

(Also the official for-serious Legal Purposes name is "San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit", so "San Francisco BART" really is more correct.)]]>Feb 4th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/02/wifi-trial-comes-to-san-franciscos-bart-trains/Mar 4th 2008 6:14PM
