SAN FRANCISCO -- The seats of some well used methods of public transportation have been analyzed by a biologist and the results might keep commuters on their feet. A supervisor with San Francisco State University's biology lab recently tested the bacterial content of a random BART seat and a Muni seat. The Bay Citizen commissioned the study. On Muni's plastic seats she found two forms of harmless bacteria, and after using an alcohol wipe on the seat no bacteria was detected. But the cloth seats on BART told an entirely different story: tests of the seats on BART revealed fecal and skin borne bacteria that were also resistant to antibiotics. The test also found at least nine different strains of bacteria and several types of mold on the seat.

Just a side bar...What about cloth airline seats?
I am never surprised at what is found in SF...
Gotta love that public transit
A little leakage from the local gays perhaps?
They need to post signs when entering S.F.....”Warning!, Entering Toxic Chemical Zone, Enter at your own risk!
“A little leakage from the local gays perhaps?”
We have winner.
HOW does this fecal matter get all over the place, anway??? Geeez!
HOW does this fecal matter get all over the place, anway??? Geeez!
for starters, I’m guessing some people are changing their shorts monthly if at all....
probably from the dry “bath” houses!
Maybe they can’t afford to buy shorts...this is getting worse!
S.F. needs a free shorts program....Gaak!...Someone to hand out underwear with the BART ticket.
Crack, meth, heroin, oxycontin, Nyquil, Thunderbird, ...
What I'd like to see, that is, if I still watched it, would be the
Mythbusters do a piece on SF's public transportation
system's seats, handholds, floors, etc.
I've seen them do bacteria counts on food dropped on the floor, bathroom samples, [alleged] rat urination on soda cans, etc.
Riding the various lines of BART various times during the day
should give a great statistical sampling to ID what and where
the dirtiest things are that pose a potential health hazard.
Those boys on Mythbusters will need their haz-mat suits for that show.
Time to rename it to BARF. Truth in advertising....
Probably how liberalism is spread through SF. By anal drainage. SO this shows that liberals are infecting others who have their brains in their a$$es.
