BART will run its regular schedule across all 50 stations on Election Day, providing voters with a transit option to reach polling sites and ballot drop boxes. The agency said it aims to ensure smooth service for residents who rely on public transit to cast their ballots. “We are always excited to make it easier for riders to participate in the election process, especially those who lack options beyond public transit,” said BART spokesperson Chris Filippi.

Dozens of models strutted down a runway at the Rockridge BART station on Saturday, the crowd around them whooping and snapping cellphone pictures. Their outfits were stylish, original and almost entirely made of paper — old BART tickets to be precise. In a competition between four schools, students from the Academy of Art University, Oakland School for the Arts, City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University were tasked with one job: upcycle old BART tickets into fashion.
