As Twitchy has reported, San Francisco is among California cities banning plastic straws. With that in mind, Buzzfeed tech reporter Caroline O’Donovan shared an announcement heard on the BART today:
This morning in San Francisco, BART conductor on the PA: “Please look around you for needles before you sit down. There’s at least one needle in car 1551 and there may be others. Thank you.”

He’s saying it at every stop. “Once again, please make sure there are no needles in or around your seat before you sit down.”

Eventually a woman in a BART uniform came through wearing rubber gloves and a face mask carrying a dustpan and broom… what a job!

Flashback to a few months ago:
San Francisco's downtown area is more contaminated with drug needles, garbage, and feces than some of the world's poorest slums https://t.co/aAvij3FXwH pic.twitter.com/usX991vJka
