Marty Bernard has been pretty quiet of late. I'd like to know more,
too, so I've cross-posted to a Bay Area newsgroup.

I took a look at the station cars at the Colma BART station. They look
like one of those many odd European cars that were briefly seen in
America in the late 1950s (anyone remember the Gogomobile?). Two
seaters, more like a golf cart designed by Detroit. I don't think I'd
feel comfortable on a freeway in one.

They do take up several parking spaces for them with several charging
stations installed at the parking stalls. I would be intersting to wait
some morning for a user and ask a few questions, but my own job schedule
precludes it.
