A group of Bay Area men says they’re tired of people feeling unsafe on the BART system after a recent increase in crime including the brutal killing of 18-year-old Nia Wilson and two other deadly attacks. The men are taking it upon themselves to provide security for BART passengers.
Rodney Alamo Brown is the group’s organizer. “Tuesday we came out with a contingent of brothers who wanted to make sure that the riders were truly safe so. In the wake of Miss Nia, we are definitely doing it on behalf of her,” said Brown.
For two hours a day the men who carry safety escort signs, are willing to walking anyone to their vehicles.
Although they’re doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. These men know some people will be reluctant to take them up on this service.
