It costs $4.75 to ride the BART?!?!?
Holy Cow! I thought it was a buck fifty or something. That has to be among the most expensive subway fares in the world.</font>
People often mistake BART for a subway. It's not. BART is a commuter train that happens to run underground through parts of San Francisco. By itself it is not very useful for getting from one part of the City to another.
