[NFBSF] BART gates will sound when a Clipper card is recognized, acccording to KCBS.

Hey all,

Amidst all the chaos besetting our news feeds lately, a little blurb of 
*good* news came out on yesterday's KCBS news cycle.

BART gates will now make a musical chime when a rider uses their Clipper 
card. A rising chime will sound if the card was recognized and tagged, 
and  make a falling sound if the card wasn't recognized correctly. The 
story specifically mentioned that this is to help riders with visual 
impairments to know when the otherwise silent gates have opened.

HUZZAH and kudos to the folks on the BART Accessibility Task Force who 
fought to make this happen, such as Shana, Josh and Daveed! If you hear 
this chime, and find it helpful, Ryan Green is the BART employee who is 
connected to this project. BART deserves some *good* feedback, for a 
change. :)

I have to go to work, so don't have time to hunt for Ryan's info, but 
calling BART's info center and asking to leave her a message should get 
you there. Maybe someone who has it can chime in. :)
