The worst is the carpeted BART cars. Yes, 1960s BART people, in the Mysterious Future we will all take nutrition pills and ride THX-1138 style Electric Trains to our jobs at the jetpack factories.

God Almighty, it makes my feet itch just thinking about it.

The carpeting was complete fail for a high volume system such as BART. Also, the lack of maintenance in general.

Carpeting works fine on "higher end" lower-volume rail, such as commuter Amtrak lines.
