I know exactly what you're talking about with the need for overnight parking. I could use a car at work even though I prefer to take the train to work. I haven't really tried to park overnight at BART because the BART stations that would make sense either don't have parking or I wouldn't want to leave my car there. I could, in theory, park at work, but it's an open lot in downtown Oakland. We get our windows smashed at lunch time, so your imagination can give you a good idea of what might happen there at night. We're about to move the office down to the Coliseum area, but on the opposite side of I-880 from the BART and Amtrak stations. That's a place I could really use a car at the station to get back and forth to the new office building. The problem is that the Coliseum/Airport BART station is a dangerous place at night.
