It Is Now Illegal To Poop On The Subway In San Francisco

[Initech]

Back in January, we warned you that BART would start coming down hard on those miscreants who think it's okay to pee, poop, and stab people on their way home. Four months should have given you plenty of time to potty train yourself.

Let's just hope, because today, no more. BART is cutting the cord and officially banning those of you who can't seem to hold it ... together. The transit agency's new anti-gross law goes into effect today: Assembly Bill 716, which passed last year, allows BART to issue a "prohibition order," meaning it can (and will) ban anyone who commits a criminal offense on BART property.

In other words, if you are busted holding up trains, assaulting workers or commuters, being lewd and lascivious (masturbating), selling drugs, scrawling missives on BART property, or just bothering others, then you'll be walking home.

1. To be fair, it was always illegal. The difference now is that they can ban you for doing it.

Rightfully so!

5. This is one area where if I drop food on the floor, just let it go.

Although on the plus side since there's no bathrooms at BART stations anymore, one could make a killing selling adult diapers to BART passengers.

2. That's good, but how will they enforce the ban? Can we do this on Muni too?
