A public records request looking into BART's citations for eating and drinking at stations and trains shows that people of color are disproportionately given tickets.

Records dating back to Oct. 1, 2014 indicate that 55 people were cited for food and drink, but 80 percent were people of color, the San Francisco Examiner discovered. African Americans were cited the most, with 33 of the 55 citations given to black passengers.
