"Sam felt safe in a BART station, where they knew a train would never fail to arrive. 'Every time I saw the train pulling into El Cerrito, felt the wind blowing, the sound of it on the tracks, I felt at home,' they said.

BART and the requisite interactions with strangers on trains 'gave me the ability to be myself.'"
