Re: Contact for BART

[Scott Christopher <sc () ottie org>]

No :)

BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit, a public transportation system with its
own bureaucracy and publicly elected board.
Caltrans is a separate State bureaucracy, though it has a big office in
the city of Oakland near BART Headquarters.
And then there is Caltrain which is the commuter rail that runs down the
peninsula. That organization has its own bureaucracy and board, too.
Lesson to be learned: don't use obscure acronyms unknown outside a small
geographical region :)
