Bart to the...Don't worry. Last one.
Bart doesn't run after midnight. Think about that one for a second. It's not just a matter of hassling out who the designated driver's going to be, you can't so much as go to a late movie and feel safe you're going to catch the last train across the Bay. And if you miss the last train, it's the TransBay Express (a sort-of-hourly bus) for you.
That said, I want to be a Bart driver when I grow up. I think the time has come to acknowledge our informative and amiable Bart conductors. Today I was especially attuned to how the drivers always announced the upcoming stop and the next stop and always leaned out of the window, at least creating the impression if nothing else that they're keeping an eye on their passengers.
