Sam Johnson says they've helped a bunch of fellow BART riders figure out where they need to go, simply by rolling up their sleeves and showing them a bicep. That's because Johnson's right arm sports a tattoo of the BART System Map. “I point to my arm and say, ‘We’re here in Concord, you’re going to transfer to this station, then ride along here, and get off at this station," Johnson says. BART's communications team recently interviewed Johnson about their first and only tattoo. Johnson considers the tattoo art, an homage to the Bay and a love letter to transit, according to the transit agency. Johnson, who now lives in Concord and is studying technical theater at Diablo Valley College, has been riding BART since being a young child. “Every time I saw the train pulling into El Cerrito, felt the wind blowing, the sound of it on the tracks, I felt at home,” Johnson said.   Johnson added that interactions on the train helped bring them out of their shell. “Without BART, I would be less outgoing, less enthusiastic, less able to adapt to new situations,” Johnson said.
