BART Launches Rapid Response Cleaning Teams
Report a mess and BART will get it cleaned-up.
BAY AREA — BART has stationed cleaning teams at the MacArthur and Lake Merritt stations in Oakland to address urgent messes on trains.
All five of the BART system's lines go through one of those two stations, BART officials said, which should allow teams to quickly intercept trains and get them cleaned up as quickly as possible once a report comes in.
The "rapid response team" currently has 14 members, but BART plans to hire five more.
