BART 'Octopus' Promotes Free Rides


As part of a partnership between the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium promoting free student field trips, BART has wrapped five railcars with the image of an octopus. Tom Blaylock, BART board vice president, joined members of the aquarium’s “Team Tentacles” to unveil the railcars at BART’s Hayward Shop. The aquarium is providing funds for approximately 40,000 students (up to age 18), teachers, and chaperones to ride BART free for educational field trips.
