Via SFist (which calls it "deliciously big brother-y"), the Bay Area's mass transit system, BART, has created a Facebook page to help shame rude riders. BART, a government agency, says the Rude Rider Hall of Shame will feature "Rider-contributed photos of people blocking doorways, eating on trains, bringing their dogs on board, breaking all the rules and generally displaying rude behavior." So far, there are only two photos (one of a pole hugger and another of a man-sitter with bicycle), but we can imagine the madness if the MTA has a Facebook page like that.
