BART Widget is a Dashboard widget trip planner for the BART train system in the northern California San Francisco bay area. See when the next train is coming simply by opening up Dashboard.
No network connection is required. This is a full-featured, self-contained trip planner, not a website frontend.
Free, fun and easy to use. Never miss your train again!
I've been testing this BART widget as well as Woodware's BARTsmart and BART Planner. My preference is for BARTsmart, for its no-nonsense interface and the fact that it connects to the 'net to pull down whatever info BART has most recently published. Also, BARTsmart's developer says that future revisions will be customizable to show stuff like when bicycles are allowed.
But this one is still quite OK... I find the graphical map interface a bit silly and cumbersome. But the schedule view is quite alright, especially since it's possible with this widget to look further ahead in the schedule.

This widget rocks!
Colorful, clear graphic description of which train is coming, when, to get you to your destination. The widget updates itself every minute telling you how soon the trains are. Optional spoken announcement. Map-based station selection. Doesn't need an internet connection to work.
The only improvements I'd like to see are, an indication of the "bicycle blackout" (rush hour) trains, and a feature where you can save frequent trips, and quickly select them.

I've used this widget for a long while now and, when functional, is the best of the BART widgets. I hope it's fixed soon.
