Happy Friday, Bay Area | Bay Area Rapid Transit

It’s All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day! We are giving away these special All Aboard stickers in the morning. If you are spotted wearing one by later in the afternoon you get a prize! Bay Area transit agencies in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air District are encouraging residents to ride transit on Tuesday, May 6, for All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day. All Aboard Transit Day encourages people to get out and ride transit – or perhaps try it for the first

“Bay Area Wildlife” illustrator and acclaimed poet-naturalist Obi Kaufmann took riders on a first-of-its-kind BART Train Expedition! The free, family-friendly ride on an in-service passenger train took riders on a journey through the East Bay’s mosaicked, ecological landscape – all through the windows of a Yellow Line train. During the ride, Kaufmann transported us through “deep time” as he told stories about the area’s ecosystems, water, fire, infrastructure, volcanic history, trees, and more.
