By Ayush Deshpande Nov. 12, 2025 Nakshatra Arun Art On Sept. 30, over 800 generals and admirals, constituting the most important of America's military leadership, left their posts from around the world to gather in an auditorium at Marine Base Quantico.

The bold letters spell out the acronym of Bay Area Rapid Transit: BART. Yet trains are not the only location where this logo can be spotted—recently, the logo has also been seen on canvas tote bags, baseball caps and water bottles displayed behind the gla
