BART did some surveying to see if they could run 1 hour later on Friday
night. They say they need to do track work every night so they would have to
start 1 hour later on Saturday morning. It sounds a little funny that track
work must happen every single night, but hey.

Here's the news article:

>From the survey: (http://www.bart.gov/docs/Night_Service_Survey_Results.pdf)
--------------------------------------------------
*  81% of late-Friday riders thought extending Friday service 1 hour and
reducing Saturday service 1 hour was an excellent or good idea, i.e.,
approved it
*  25% of early Saturday riders approved this change
...
* The proposal to extend Friday night service by one hour while delaying the
start of Saturday morning  service by one hour would have a
disproportionately high and adverse impact on minority and low income rider
--------------------------------------------------



The BART Board of Directors will discuss at its June 23 meeting whether to
proceed with a pilot proposal for later service on Friday nights. But it's
not looking likely.
