It sounds like you've never sat down on a BART fabric seat only to discover it is wet. I won't miss the fabric seats.

- inferiorhuman 2y agoSure, and Marin (Bay Area) also has fabric seats, but their public transit sees much lower ridership. It's hard to overstate how vile the old wool seats were on BART. It took the NY Times reporting that the wool covers harbored MRSA and other nasties to prompt the switch to vinyl.
