Get over it! Some of us
Get over it! Some of us having been paying for BART parking for years now. $1 parking is not that bad. Try parking (or trying to find parking) at West Oakland for $5.
The only place you should be
The only place you should be able to park for free is in your own driveway.
"get over it"??? they are
"get over it"??? they are slowly charging us for things that should be included in their scope of normal service. Just waiting for them to start charging more for the sitting car, and the car with no talking...here comes the gestapo!
Parking is not (and shouldn't
Parking is not (and shouldn't be) in BART's scope of service. You are lucky they provide any parking at all given how much real estate is worth around BART stations.
Suck it up and pay for your own bad habits.
I actually have a bike locker
I actually have a bike locker at this station, and don't park here. I am seeing a general decline in service...and as the name implies I am here to rant about a necessary evil. Thank you
Does the extra dollar suck?
Does the extra dollar suck? Yes but:
1. BART has been charging for parking at some stations for a long time. There's no reason they shouldn't just have a flat fee for all parking at their stations.
2. This will free up parking at some stations by eliminating people who don't ride BART. I don't know if this is the case specifically in Pleasant Hill, but that area is so packed with apartments now I'm sure people park at BART when they can't find anything else.
Yes, charge an all-day fee at
Yes, charge an all-day fee at every station. I'm sick of subsidizing the acres of parking around stations. I always bike or bus.
I am really glad they started
I am really glad they started charging at del Norte. The parking lot closest to San Pablo & Potrero used to be full by the time I got there (6:15am) because people would park there and walk across the street to the casual carpool stop. Now that you have to enter the station to pay for parking or to validate your EZRider card, there are plenty of spots. I walk to BART, not drive, but I know that the casual carpoolers were a big source of frustration for many BART riders. And BART was essentially subsidizing the car ride to SF of those people -- which is exactly antithesis to what BART wants to be doing. So I am all for this development.
