Summary: BART Board President Robert Raburn got a stunning dress-down from an Oakland station agent Thursday after he and other directors took a mixed vote on the general manager’s call for more security on the crime-troubled transit system. Raburn and other BART directors voted “yes” on installing emergency call boxes and upgrading security cameras, but “not yet” on banning panhandling or increasing the number of ticket checkers to curb gate jumping.
