For those wondering like me what "bart" might be in this context, it seems to be the heavy rail "Bay Area Rapid Transit" system in San Francisco, California.

Yes, sorry, it's the metro train system in the SF Bay area. Supposedly has its own dedicated police force but you rarely see them on tracks or on the trains.

When I was riding BART around 2014.. 3 people died that year on the trains.

1 person stabbed to death from random altercation. 1 person punched and fell and cracked their head open. 1 person was in altercation, pushed and cut their knee on the floor. Died of infection from incident.
