Who is the person who sits at the front of the BART train? That isn't the operator?

It is. What they spend most of their time operating are the doors, though.

Although it wasn't that long ago when BART workers went on strike, replacement workers (former BART operators) stepped in to operate the trains, and then promptly ran over and killed two workers performing track maintenance.

It also didn't really have anything to do with the train operators.
