I think this ad is taking an anti-homeless stance, which makes this an interesting combination of circumstance and ironic juxtaposition. Every night I’ve passed this stop on my way out of 365 Main, there’s been the same guy sleeping here each time.

Zing! – An interesting advert in the Montgomery St. BART station.
While adding value to a BART ticket this evening, the fare chart caught my eye, and I noticed something called the “Excursion Fare”. It’s a cost for exiting from the same station you came in on (to ward off vagrants living on the system all day, I suppose…), or for losing your ticket. At only $4.60, why isn’t it in my favor to claim that I’ve “lost” my ticket on a longer journey (like on my semi-daily SF-Fremont route, valued at a whole $5.00)?
I’ve also become privy to another BART trick. The total fare from Fremont to Dublin/Pleasanton is actually more than the total fare of the Fremont-Bay Fair and Bay Fair to Dublin/Pleasanton journies. Try and explain that one!
