In total, 77 of the trains cameras are either fake or not working. Bart released the numbers after our inquiry through a public records request. i always assumed half of them were fake anyway so im not really surprised. Alecia the news that train cars are being observed less than a quarter of the time comes a month after a deadly shooting on a bart train. That car did not have a working camera. But surveillance from another camera caught images of the suspectwhich Police Released to the public. Many passengers we spoke to knew that some cameras were decoys, but had no idea that the majority of them actually dont work. Especially in the case where it mattered. i thought this was great, the cameras were there, we see them every day with the blinking red light. We thought they were gonna catch this guy, and nope. No working camera. And its a shame. They should have more. They should all be working. i think they really need more bart police alecia with only 23 of cameras working, bart says
