BART's anime mascots are inspiring youth to ride public transit by making it exciting and accessible. Nearly half of Gen Z in the U.S. – a growing and reliable ridership demographic – watches anime, and BART’s mascots help us meet young people where they’re at, building connections and relationships through their own interests.
