Anyone expecting Eric Fischer to just go softly into that soft night is fooling themselves. Today, he gives us a May 1958 BART logo. Almost as cool as this.

Josh Ellingson saw our post Friday about his new art at various BART stations, and tipped us off to more. Here’s a Flickr set that includes the images again, as well as process drawings he used to create them, and some of the signs iterated in BART stations.

Thanks, Josh!

BART rider Nicole was understandably perplexed Monday morning at the 24th Mission BART station when she encountered the scene depicted above.

Via Akit, we found this amazing BART video, purportedly from 1982.

The transit system wasn’t exactly new at that point, but this ad sure presents it as if it were.

Trippy, to say the least.

Via SF Weekly’s The Snitch, BART Diaries has learned of at least one iPhone owner who refused becoming another theft-victim:

“He hit me as hard as he could four times, and I just stood there, like dazed. I was like, you just got four free shots and you didn’t take me down. And then in a split second I decided I’m going to kill him. He unleashed the beast. I am basically 98-percent muscle, I’m a professional athlete, and all my muscle was on him. I pounced on him like a tiger.”

BART rider and Glen Park resident Beth sends us this charming story of a 4-year-old boy who had a wish, and that wish was fulfilled.

Yes, please.

Just the other day, I was in a grocery store and remembered what a freaking joy it was each year to dream up what I wanted on my birthday cake. For me, it was things like the shark from Jaws or, more often than not, anything Star Wars-related. But this kid’s choice, well, takes the … cake?

Thx: Beth and Glen Park News

Andrew at Mission Mission tipped us off to this great innovation:

BART.gov just launched a new revamped trip planner that uses the Google Maps API. Now there’s an address tab in the QuickPlanner that allows you to enter addresses (or cross streets) in addition to mere BART stations in order to plan your Bay Area trips more precisely.
