A planned protest of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) fizzled Thursday after officials reportedly cut cell phone services at some stations.
BART spokesman Linton Johnson told a KTVU reporter, who had noticed the disruption, that the public relations department had suggested that phone service be shut down.
Another BART spokesman, Jim Allison, reportedly admitted that the tactic had been “part of a larger strategy.”
But Allison later claimed that he had been mistaken and phone service was not blocked.
