"Vacant homes are abundant in Oakland—according to the latest U.S. Census data, there are 5,898, enough to house the city’s homeless population, estimated last summer at 4,071 people."

Why does BART matter?

For the past few months, we've been asking riders this question as part of our new storytelling series, BART Connects, which spotlights the people, places, and experiences our system connects riders to.

[Ed Cabrera @EDinOAK]

Why @SFBART matters to me.

[BART @SFBART]

Ed said BART has played a key role in helping his daughter get to know the Bay.

“You don’t want to have a kid who grew up in a city and doesn’t know it,” he said. "And there’s no better way to get to know a neighborhood...than walking, riding transit, and talking to people.”
