This summer, BART invited some of our biggest fans to show us their favorite things to do by BART during break (though you can recreate their itineraries no matter the season).
Zayn, Milo, Robert, Lucy, and Bella took us all over the Bay Area. We went cloud chasing in Daly City, bought bagels and books in Berkeley, took a trip to the new Nintendo Store in San Francisco, toured some “aesthetic stations,” and traveled to Starbucks and Target for lemonade and art supplies.
Each of the Summer Guide hosts participated in the Autism Transit Project, in which BART invites local youth on the spectrum to record special announcements that play in stations during Autism Acceptance Month in April.
