I'm not sure why people are freaked out about BART tbh. The trains are new and clean and the vast majority of the riders are "normal" people. Now that they've reduced trains from 10 car trains to 6 car trains, packing "regular" people in even closer, there's supposedly even less crime or something from what I saw somewhere. Even before then it wasn't that bad. There was maybe the occasional unsavory encounter but they were usually pretty fleeting and not particularly remarkable, even later at night. The problem is people only report the occasional bad encounters, and no one cares to reports their normal experiences. The main issue I see is fare evasion but BART is working on replacing the fare gates.
