Faced with overcrowded trains, BART launched a public service message campaign to encourage riders to take their backpacks off to make more room for those standing on cars. This train was nearing the end of the Richmond line, when the car had emptied out enough to get a clear photograph of BART's new poster. Backpacks are encouraged to be held lower when there is standing room only, but obviously not an issue when there are plenty of empty seats as shown in this shot. This passenger had his backpack off earlier in the train ride before donning it to exit the car. Photo from February 3rd, 2016.
