    I’m going to sound like a broken record… no Bart PD patrolling/presence = all mentally ill, homeless, addicts, etc. are free to do whatever they want. Are Bart officials waiting for someone like this kill themselves or a passenger to get seriously injured before they step up policing in stations and trains?
