Funny what difference a day makes in the Bay. Taken from Capitol Corridor approaching the Berkeley station

Is this dude ripping a lung dart??

The California Zephyr got us from The Bay to Truckee exactly on time today. Plus we made a bunch of kiddo friends along the scenic journey and had a delicious meal. Trains are a treasure

I made a cameo in the latest BART Connects feature!

Screenshot from a BART social video taken from a phone that fell off a suction cup tripod thing showing the recording of the very video you are watching And the BART employee making the content

Shout out to Tommy for taking me fishing for the first time!!! For the real transit heads: The latest BART Connects features a sick Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit appearance

Amazing quotes in this story about robot company employees going around the Bay Area secretly and trashing the homes while prototype testing robots to do household chores. By @skbaer.bsky.social sfstandard.com/2026/05/28/s...

“The dishonesty is really what upsets me the most,” he said. “If they had come straight up, ‘Hey, we would like to rent your house for testing of our robot,’ then we could have come to an agreement. But it’s the lying and the misrepresentation that makes me feel violated.”

It appears that he’s not the only Bay Area resident who has been duped.

Three of the guests connected to the April 12-25 booking for Donovan’s home have received negative reviews from at least 12 other Airbnb hosts alleging they damaged the property and personal belongings, failed to clean up, exceeded the limit on the number of guests, or violated other house rules during their stays.

“I just kind of assumed they might have had a party,” said the owner, who requested anonymity for privacy.
But then a neighbor told him they had seen people bringing big black boxes into the house, so the owner thought maybe they had filmed a movie.
“The robot thing kind of makes sense now,” the host said.

The feedback has been awesome. The comments are full of sweet stories about people's connection to BART and more across all our social platforms.

My daughter crashed her first planning commission meeting last night! She wandered in, took a seat and watched dutifully for like 10 minutes, just holding onto her stick! Love a civic minded kid!

This post is a spiritual successor to an ancient time when the A’s represented Oakland and I was stirring the pot over at the now shuttered @latimes.com downtown offices

Javier Panzar@jpanzar· Nov 22

Big Game week really stirs the pot over at @bart.gov HQ! I spotted @valmenotti.bsky.social from across the floor and came running.
