Richmond transit center’s reopening celebrates return to normal — and tacos

Not only vaccinations but free tacos were on tap recently as Richmond’s multimodal transit center — where BART, Amtrak/Capitol Corridor and AC Transit converge — reopened to the public.

Officials including Richmond Mayor Tom Butt and BART Director Lateefah Simon were on hand for the July 16 event. One of many similar events taking place in the Bay Area as the pandemic ebbs, the occasion celebrated a return to everyday life.
