What happened at the Embarcadero this morning? (Mon., 7/28/10)

I was peacefully listening to my MP3 player and when I got up to leave at the Embarcadero, I noticed that people weren't leaving the train very quickly. I took another look and saw a brawl going on right outside the doorway. A woman behind me started pushing me and said keep moving and get out, which I didn't take kindly since I was backed up against six or eight people in front of me. Anyway, everyone started to leave the train and as we left we witnessed two women in a fistfight! Two or more men finally pulled them apart. I was wondering what set these two people off. Did anyone see what actually happened to start the fight?

Who knows?? BART was really

Who knows??
BART was really messed up today.

A Co Worker from Berkeley says they counted 9 people flagrantly violating fares at the Downtown Berkeley BART station in the 10 minutes or less that they were on the platform waiting for there train.

I guess they closed the Bike Center Cage so now one of the entrances has no guards and people just walk right down to the platform with nobody wathcing.
And of course the alarms are all turned off so if you open the gates the wrong way no alarms sound.

maybe BART could close their budget gaps if they ever actually tried to stop fare evasion??
Seeing people get free rides all the time sure does make me mad that i have to subsidize their free ride with my $8 round trip ticket.
