What’s your favorite BART memory? Has BART changed your life – in ways big or small – or connected you to something meaningful?
We want to hear about it.
BART Communications is launching a new edition of BART Connects (bart.gov/bartconnects), our rider storytelling series highlighting the many ways BART connects the Bay Area. We’re inviting the public to share memories and moments that show how BART moves this region in both small and powerful ways.
Your story doesn’t need to be earth-shattering or groundbreaking. Inspire, entertain, and enlighten us!
Submit your story by visiting bart.gov/story and answering a few questions. You'll have the option to enter a drawing for a $100 e-gift card.
BART Communications will review responses on a rolling basis, and we may contact you to schedule follow-up interviews and photo/video shoots. Get ready for your BART closeup.
We’ll share our favorite stories on our communications and marketing channels, including bart.gov, social media, and even advertisements that will appear around the region (with participant consent).
We’re looking for stories about:
- Meeting your partner or good friend onboard
- Using BART to get to school/appointments/experiences you would not be able to have without transit
- Going someplace fun or unexpected, like golfing or fishing!
- Taking BART to your wedding/prom/big life event
- Using your time on the train to create art, stories, poems, or photos
Find examples at bart.gov/bartconnects.
