UOC on BART

imported post

I am not able to find any kind of specific laws regarding UOC on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Is anyone aware of any prohibitions with regards to UOC on BART?

171b - BART stations are all public buildings as defined by the code. If it were possible to get on the train and not stop in a station, you could uoc on BART.

So a BART station is a "Public Building"? IC...

Are there any schools within 1000' of the tracks you'll be on?

Even the BART train itself might bea 171b location if there is a conductor onboard.

I highly doubt that a train can be considered a building. And PC 171b deals with public BUILDINGS, not public vehicles.

PC 171 b
(c) As used in this section, "state or local public building" means a building that meets all of the following criteria:
(1) It is a building or part of a building owned or leased by the state or local government, if state or local public employees are regularly present for the purposes of performing their official duties. A state or local public building includes, but is not limited to, a building that contains a courtroom.
(2) It is not a building or facility, or a part thereof, that is referred to in Section 171c, 171d, 626.9, 626.95, or 626.10 of this code, or in Section 18544 of the Elections Code.
(3) It is a building not regularly used, and not intended to be used, by state or local employees as a place of residence.

I was really interested in Public Transportation in general as well, and saw someone post that firearms were not allowed on BART (not on this forum, on another unrelated to UOC topic).

But the real problem with public transportation (in general) is CPC 626.9 (GFSZ), as almost any public transit route will take you within several school zones. I mean even looking at a map, it is almost impossible to drive anywhere without passing through one.

I normally take public transit (living in the bay area, this is quite common).

It looks like your answered your own question. Riding on BART and driving in your carwould be the same. I wouldn't risk it.
