The BART escalator to the southbound track has looked like this since October. It was worked on (dismantled) for three days, blocked off, and left alone. I haven't seen a single thing change in three months.
What's left in its stead? Three flights of stairs. Now, I have nothing against using stairs normally. A little bit if exercise is good. What is killing me about this situation is that the escalator etiquette (stand on right, walk up escalator on left) doesn't translate to the stairs. I wish people would apply the rules of the road (slower traffic stay to the right) to the stairs (but who am I kidding, people have trouble adhering to that on the freeway). I cannot even tell you how many mornings I'll be scanning my Clipper card when I hear the train come screeching into the station upstairs. I'll start my sprint up the stairs (not easy when you're sore from a morning run) only to be waylayed by people creeping up the stairs, three person abreast.
I can hear Mike's voice saying "why don't you leave earlier and then you'll avoid this." So I should let you know- this is for the earlier train. I'm there with plenty of time to catch the I necessary train to get to work by 8 am. It's just so hard to stand there and wait when the earlier train is coming through.
It may be like this for two years.
