BART's decision to reinstate the COVID-19 mask mandate has left some riders confused over the rules, adding the back-and-forth is hard to keep up with.
BART decided to keep requiring masks, extending its mandate to July 18. However, eight days after it expired, the BART board voted to extend the mask requirement once again -- this time into October.
"There's a lot of people catching COVID," El Sobrante resident Gwendolyn said."So why not protect everybody by wearing your mask?" A BART spokesperson said in an e-mail to NBC Bay Area transit agency staff do their best to inform riders of the mask requirement -- ranging from signage to information posted online.
BART hoped county health departments would take the lead on mask mandates, but it never happened. So the transit agency acted on its own and brought back the requirement - at least for now.
