Good post author. Great comment Tom Q.

However, as a father of a 10 month old, I have a couple of thoughts: For shorter trips I usually am getting on a bus, and then will hold my son or use a bjorn. He loves the big windows and I enjoy the freedom of not having a stroller.

However, the systems are poor on commuter rail/subways. Two days ago I took Caltrain from Palo Alto, transferred to BART at Millbrae and went to El Cerrito. Caltrain deserves credit for the two bike cars, but we were told the stroller should go in the luggage car, which has a minuscule space for luggage, especially vs. the large bike cars. Why is this? It goes without saying it is much, much safer to ride public transit than private cars, so why is it so tough? This is often a matter of life and death. BART does have the bike spaces on trains but these are also small.

Signage/elevators are often poorly placed or not clear as well. And I am someone who is a huge fan/rider of transit so I can't imagine how confusing it is for other folks.
