Tiny Rider Joins BART (Baby Born On BART Platform)
NBC11 ^ | Fri, Nov 21, 2008

Riders on BART got quite a surprise at the San Leandro station Friday morning.

A woman gave birth to a baby on the station's platform at 7 a.m.

The mother was with her 2-year-old child when she started going into labor at the top of the escalator.

A station agent and a police officer helped her until paramedics showed up.

A BART spokesman says it was a baby girl, and she and the mother are doing well.

"They were trying to keep it as private as one can at a busy BART station," said Linton Johnson.

Today's birth was the third in the transit agency's history.

In July 1996, a baby was born aboard a train, and got free service for life!

They later gave the baby a ticket for riding without a ticket.
