up that urgent mess that cannot wait for the end of the line. what about this -- >> what about a needle on a seat at dublin pleasanton? how do i communicate that? >> it is important that you do. we do not find out about it until the end of the line if you don't. we want you to use the intercom line and tell the operator. starting monday, the board mobile website will say report the biohazard. you can say where you are and request that the mass be cleaned up. someone will intercept the train and take care of the issue right away. >> bart has had 10 calls from writers about cleanliness in the last two weeks. is that an accurate representation? >> those are people who go out of their way to email us and complain or call us. >> it takes work.

it is a tremendous sign of the crisis that is happening. we are literally walking through these hallways every 30 minutes with cleaning teams, officers, asking people to move along if they are not there to ride the system. they just keep coming back. it is a cat and mouse game. working with san francisco is critical. we have to get officers into their free area. these are people who have problems with addiction. they need treatment. more services in all the areas we serve. more officers. more cleaning. that is what we are doing. >> it seems any time the bart police chief is there, things are great and the corridor. it seems the cameras and high profile presence makes it go away. that it returns to where it was. what is the long-term plan? >> the idea is station hardening. making it harder. her -- increased foot patrols. we need to get a grip on the homeless crisis in the bay area to have a true long-term impact on what we see in the hallways. those hallways are getting cleaned every day. it just depends on, the moment you pick them -- kick them out,

they can't get there early enough or they don't take a bus or get dropped off or use a carpal. the idea is, it will smooth it allowed. not everyone can park at antioch. it is not possible. we cannot build that many parking spots with the money we have. it is a wonderful trainride. i hope you get a chance to take it. >> is there any plan to increase parking there at antioch? >> right now, we have stalls in every spot of land that we own in that area. we built as much parking for what the project had marty for -- money for -- it is easy to take the bus or get dropped off or carpal. people need to ways to reach the station. >> it is a brand-new station. filling up quickly. >> parking is in extremely high demand across the bay area. >> on monday morning, there is mobile reporting through the bart mobile site. alicia, thank you for joining us this morning. let's switch topics. roseanne barr. she has not shied away from the spotlight after abc canceled her hit show after an offensive
