WORST TRAIN OPERATOR EVER
Much to my dismay, I had the displeasure of riding on a train this morning with the most asinine, annoying T.O. On the BART system. He's an overweight, red bearded guy, who thinks he's an Auctioneer rather than a train "engineer". Every time I ride the train this guy is controlling, no one can ever understand a word he says. It's like he's deliberately talking fast so no one can understand him. Heaven forbid there should ever be any important information we should know about. It's not surprising that he is operating a car this morning that has no visible numbers for anyone to report his ass. I looked! But let's just say the date is Friday August 24, 2012. My current location is northbound on BART on the Daly City train. I'm at Fruitvale and the time is 9:36am.
You saying he had six car id
You saying he had six car id numbers removed even the ones on the exterior.. Have you tried calling him on the intercom letting him know he speaking too fast for you and you can't understand anything he saying. Or you just assuming he doing it on purpose
Did I say anything close to
Did I say anything close to "he had 6 ID numbers removed"? NO. It was a packed morning train and I'm not going to go rummaging around looking for all the "special" places to find a number when it should be posted above the conjoining doors. Same goes for the intercom suggestion--I know where I'm going, and I know the stops, but not everyone does. There's no need for me to ask for clarification (unless of course it was an emergency, but who would know if they can't understand this bafoon) As for the assumption part, NEGATIVE AGAIN. He does this all the time. He exaggerates his announcements like it's some game he's playing with the passengers. He even cuts himself off with the mic half the time. I love how you respond to my complaint like I'm the asshole. Screw you. If I had to guess, you're both meth heads, and should be drug tested.
man seems you need a hug I
man seems you need a hug I made couple general comments not attacking you.. if you so concerned about other people why dont you call the operator and not wait till an emergency actually happens and no ones understands him it seems you have major anger issues by the way you responded seems you must be a meth head yourself
The car #'s are located at
The car #'s are located at each end of each and every car above the end car doors and at the intercom at each and every single car in the fleet. It even says" you are calling from car # .....", ok?
"man seems you need a hug I
"man seems you need a hug I made couple general comments not attacking you.. if you so concerned about other people why dont you call the operator and not wait till an emergency actually happens and no ones understands him it seems you have major anger issues by the way you responded seems you must be a meth head yourself"
Can I "like" this response! :)
I think I know who you might
I think I know who you might be talking about. I have run into him in the Daly City terminus. He's mean to people sometimes, but when you get to know him, he's not too bad. Yes, in person he also talks fast. He used to operate the Blue line, but had switched to doing the green line at certain times since last year.
At each transfer stop he was like "Next stop is [Insert transfer station name], if you destination is [on color line], walk over to [side platform]". And when doors open he's like "[Station name], Daly City" (fast talking). Whilst approaching the terminus he's like "[Station name], end of the line, end of the line" and doesn't even care to encourage pax to look around for their belongings or anything like that.
He talks too fast. Let me know if this is the guy. Otherwise, it might me someone else too. I've had him mostly during the off peak commute time.
