United StatesBART Watch: Free Security App for Riders. The BART Watch App offers the public a quick and discreet method for reporting suspicious activity directly to BART Police. The app can send pictures, text messages, and locations of suspicious people or activities. From the home screen, users have two easy options for contacting BART Police: * The “Report a Problem” button allows users to send text or photos directly to BART Police. To ensure discretion, the camera flash is automatically disabled when photos are taken through the app. When reporting an issue, users can select locations and report categories to assist BART Police. Riders can also send reports anonymously if they chose. * The “Call BART Police” button will connect customers directly to BART Police. The application is designed for BART. If you send a report in an area without cellular connectivity, it will be stored and sent when connectivity returns. The system is also designed to send text messages before pictures so that BART Police can get app reports as quickly as possible. Additional Features BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Alerts. BOLO Alerts on the BART Watch App may display alerts from BART Police about specific persons of interest. For example, BART Watch may display information about a missing person or child, such as where they were last seen. If you see a person from a BOLO, immediately call 911 and send an app report to BART Police discreetly. Help keep BART safe, "See something, Say something."
If you like to answer endless inane questions
If you like to answer endless inane questions from some bot taking reports, this is the app for you. “A man in a red shirt is smoking meth and twirling a machete on the train.” “Please better describe the shade of red. Please provide us with the color and manufacturer of his shoes. Please tell us the suspect’s mother’s maiden name. Please tell us if he’s wearing a belt and what material…” “He has now started a fire and appears to have chopped off someone’s arm. Please send help!” “Thank you for your report. In order to respond, we will need further suspect description. Is the baseball cap an adjustable size cap or a fitted cap? How many nose hairs are visible from each nostril…?” Unfortunately this is similar to the kind of the experience I’ve had with BART police. I once exited a car to immediately encounter two officers. I told them that I had just seen a man with a concealed handgun on the car 15 feet behind me, and that he was still there and I could show them. They proceeded to lecture me on how open carry was legal. It was not and is not. Further, the handgun was was concealed. In the meantime while they were lecturing me, the train doors closed and the train left with the armed man inside. Brilliant.

Officers don’t usually show up and when they do it’s well after the fact.
United StatesNo response
No response and problems all the time. Keep non paying people in non paying areas. No pay no ride
United StatesPoor response from BART
I have never seen BART police address the problems I have reported.
United StatesWhat a joke of application
Reported a homeless sleeping taking two sits, with all his bags while people were standing up on rush hour and I got a response that it was not illegal to sleep on the train. As a paying traveler this is not what I want to deal with when riding bart. Bad service, not surprise people does to want to ride the trains.
United StatesGreat app for utterly useless replies
What’s the use anymore? People hop over the gate for free and proceed to literally light up inside the moving trains… every day… right under the camera. If you’re lucky they’ll even smoke some crack right next to you and complete a drug deal. I’ll give them credit, they know they won’t get caught, so why not.
