another BART tip

you're more likely to find an empty seat either in the front cars or the back cars.  the middle cars are more packed.  also, if i'm sitting alone and someone comes to sit next to me, i ask which station they're getting off at.  if they're getting off after me, then i have them sit on the inside.  if they're getting off before me, then i sit on the inside.  also, avoid sitting in the elderly/handicapped seats because then you might have to get up.  find a "regular" seat.
