>> I did some training on BART, when I was at GDB.  It's like a subway, not at all like paratransit.
>> We went down into the station, paid our fare at the turnstile, went in, and caught the train.  One has to be careful to stay away from the platform edge.  One may have to take a big step to get in the train; at least, in subways I know well, there is sometimes a gap between the platform and the train.  And one has to listen to the dog.  Many times, I've thought the train had pulled in, and told the dog to go forward inside, and the dog has looked at me like I'm crazy, because the train is not there at all; it's across the way.  Good dog!
