Lafayette BART - Casual Carpool
A current of pedestrians on their way to the Lafayette BART station stream through the packed parking lots as we arrive at 7:30AM. But, along Deer Hill Rd between Happy Valley Rd and Oak Hill Rd, it’s stop and go (much like the sign) for a slow trickle of cars and would-be passengers that arrive sporadically until 9:00AM. We hand out just 126 flyers to folks heading for the convenient 24 West on-ramp to The City. One rider, Robert asks, ‘What’s in it for me?’ as I hand him a flyer. ‘A fascinating read’, I reply. And it seems, a memory, as he relates that he met his wife in the Casual Carpool! Another rider, Gail asks about ‘urban legends’. Well, there is one about a guy who bypassed Fremont and Howard on his way to SFO, but no one seems to know the ending to that story…do you?
