Note to Self: Take a Book

TagFest: BART

The BART lines split just south of the station I go to every workday. One line comes my way and I actually live closer to a station on that line but I like not having to wait so long for a train (since twice as many trains flow through my station) so I drive the three miles over the hill.

After 7 or so in the evening, one of the lines stops running and the trains are spaced further apart (up to 20 minutes) so if I'm at work late I only have half the trains as usual and often have to wait longer for them. If I were smart, I'd check the schedule before leaving work.

Tonight I didn't check but it turns out I would've just caught a train had I not been stopped short just as I went through the fare gates. My friend Corrina was heading home from work in the Mission and we just happened to accidentally coordinate our schedules. We chatted for a couple minutes and when I got down to the platform the signs said I had 18 minutes to wait for my train. Ugh. I hate when that happens. At least I had a book.
