BART salutes our military veterans' commitment to public service

Note: There will be no change to our current weekday service on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 6.

Ahead of Veterans Day, BART is celebrating employees who served and their ongoing commitment to public service.

"There are more than 200 military veterans in our BART family who each and every day contribute their experiences, values, and expertise to our organization," said General Manager Bob Powers. "We all benefit from what they bring to BART, as do our riders."

Last month, BART Communications reached out to BART veterans with a few questions: How are the lessons and skills you gained in the military reflected in your work at BART? Why did you wish to continue your public service in a different capacity? Why are you proud to be a BART employee and a veteran?

You can read their responses in the slideshows on this page. To pause on an image, left click and hold your cursor on the image.
