BART: We Clean Pretty Much Everything

Meet the unsung heroes who scrub, mop, sanitize, and polish Bay Area Rapid Transit trains. BART's car cleaning crews work every night of the week scrubbing the inside of train cars to keep them clean and disinfected (including the seats.).

This video offers a glimpse at our top-to-bottom cleaning efforts. BART cleans cars multiple times a day. Each line has a designated location where a member of BART clean-up crew walks the length of the train to pick up trash and spot clean as necessary. Then a deeper cleaning occurs at night.

Riders can help by not leaving behind any trash and reporting unsafe conditions to the train operator. Every train car gets a thorough cleaning regularly. For us, thorough means pretty much everything.
