An Alameda woman was robbed at gunpoint after exiting a bus she boarded at a BART station. We’ve heard numerous stories over the years of commuters who stop taking public transit after being mugged or otherwise having their person or their vehicle victimized in BART parking lots. We wonder if this victim will continue to take transit, or start driving to work.

I am more reluctant to drive on 880 that to take my chances with being robbed by taking the bus and BART. While traumatic, I fear injury in a car accident more.
