San Francisco: BART Sued over Urine- and Feces-Covered Elevators

Breitbart: Two advocacy groups and two individuals with disabilities filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday alleging that BART has discriminated against people with disabilities by failing to maintain the transportation agency’s urine and feces-covered elevators.

“I encounter human waste in BART elevators several times a week — so frequently that it has become a predictable part of my commute,” Ian Smith, one of the plaintiffs in the civil rights lawsuit, who uses a wheelchair to move around, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “My hope is that this lawsuit will finally get BART to address the needs of the disability community.”

  1. Hold the phone, I’ve lived in San Francisco and it is fecal matter from end to end, side to side, every bus, every sidewalk, every public bench, every alley, every tree, every where you go.

    Never catch a cab in The Castro.

  2. I’m on the side to the wheelchair brigades in this one. If you’re able bodied you can step around the crap but if you in a chair there’s no way you can avoid having to wheel through the piss and shit in the elevators. I know there’s a lot of disabled people that are dicks about access and the like, suing everything in sight for the slightest inconvenience but this time they have a point.

  3. It seems like such a caring, liberal city could provide porta potties – they don’t because locals would bitch about it being near THEIR house. Better to have poop everywhere than attract bums, I guess.
