Comments on: Chapter 20 http://w1n5t0n.com/chapter-20/ An annotated version of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother Fri, 07 May 2010 01:01:41 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lauren Di Lieto http://w1n5t0n.com/chapter-20/#comment-397 Lauren Di Lieto Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:20:45 +0000 http://w1n5t0n.com/?p=51#comment-397 The BART car project is a very interesting one. BART is the Bay Area Rapid Transit System. It is essentially a New York City subway but unique because the system is interactive. People who ride the BART log into the website and record what car they rode as well as the date and time they traveled. They can make comments about the condition of the car and quality of the commute.
