BART Watch vs Bart Jumper

BART Watch: Free Security App for Riders. The BART Watch App offers the public a quick and discreet method for reporting suspicious activity directly to BART Police. The app can send pictures, text messages, and locations of suspicious people or activities. From the home screen, users have two easy options for contacting BART Police: * The “Report a Problem” button allows users to send text or photos directly to BART Police. To ensure discretion, the camera flash is automatically disabled when photos are taken through the app. When reporting an issue, users can select locations and report categories to assist BART Police. Riders can also send reports anonymously if they chose. * The “Call BART Police” button will connect customers directly to BART Police. The application is designed for BART. If you send a report in an area without cellular connectivity, it will be stored and sent when connectivity returns. The system is also designed to send text messages before pictures so that BART Police can get app reports as quickly as possible. Additional Features BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Alerts. BOLO Alerts on the BART Watch App may display alerts from BART Police about specific persons of interest. For example, BART Watch may display information about a missing person or child, such as where they were last seen. If you see a person from a BOLO, immediately call 911 and send an app report to BART Police discreetly. Help keep BART safe, "See something, Say something."

This app was designed to help Bart riders easily jump trains to find a seat. For example, taking Embarcadero to the East Bay usually means missing the train because it is packed to the brim or standing in the very crowded train during rush hour. What if I told you that you could invest a few extra minutes going the opposite way, to maximize your chances of getting a good seat. As an added bonus, the app keeps you anonymous and we do not sell any data to 3rd party. For example, when your app sends the device location information, the service receiving this information to get a list of train arrivals only gets the location. It has no clue who and what device made the request. - Each station comes with real time estimates of all trains arriving. The trains are sorted by arrival times to make it easier to determine if you can make the train switch. - You can easily search for the station you are interested in. - The real time estimates auto refreshes based on the earliest train arrival to keep you up to date! - There is an advisories tab to keep tabs on the advisories and delays, to help you plan better or maybe arrange for other forms of transportation. - There is a built in map to help understand which train line and color goes where. The trains in in the real time estimates also provide the line colors to assist. - The app is very fast and stable, and available for iPhones and iPads. - The app also supports for larger text for more comfortable reading. - Available for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. - No ads! Under the hood, the app was written in the Swift Programming Language. Terms of Use: https://decimalsoftware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042696514-Bart-Jumper-Terms-of-Use-EULA
