Thursday’s move by Bay Area Rapid Transit authorities was greeted by an uproar of comparisons to Egypt and Libya. The hacking collective Anonymous responded in typical form over the weekend by defacing the agency’s website, and stealing and releasing the private account information of some 2,000 San Francisco–area transit riders.
San Francisco Subway Shuts Cell Service to Foil Protest; Legal Debate Ignites | Threat Level | Wired.com

So lets see, BART has cell service underground, on BART property, as a COURTESY to its riders, where you would not normally get cell service anyways. Yea, if BART wants to shut down BARTs communications on BART property, of something it provides as a courtesy, they have that right to prevent illegal action on BART Property. If AT&T, or Verizon shut down the service for what ever reason, thats another can of worms.
Uh, Chad ole buddy, need I remind you that BART exists solely because of the tax payers?
It's a PUBLIC entity, not a private one.
B-I-G Difference here!
The only people that own BART are the PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA!
BART did not pay to put in the cell service in this section of tunnel, private company dollars were used to install this convenience. Maybe if protesters would not illegally protest on BART property?
It's a PUBLIC space, BART is a public agency!
It is not "BARTS" property, it is the citizens of California's property.
What you are describing is the EXACT nature of the problem with government now.
The people that are employed in the government, all tax payer funded, think they own the facilities they work in.
They do not have the right to shut down everybody's speech because they are worried about a "possible' event.
If this is tolerated then we are in deep shit as a country.
