Pandemic transit outages/curtailed hours and a dead cell phone just lead me to a 2 hr transit saga that felt like NYC in the 90s, AMA...
Shout out to both the BART station agent who, b/c no trains were running *at all* and didn’t have the right charger for my phone walked me a few blocks to the muni stop under the freeway (which I eventually abandoned but) and
And, after the wait under the freeway got decidedly much dicier, the bartender I eventually found and asked “this is very old school, but could you call me a cab” did so.
Man, though, pandemic transit when you can’t check timetables is A THING

Also at one point I spotted a pay phone and contemplated whether the only local person whose number I actually remember would even know to answer a collect call from an unknown number.
Just want to add that I made a point to take BART tonight b/c public transit is great and we all need to get back on. Just do more prep work than I did as we all transition back, and don’t let your cell phone go dead ;)
