All but one BART rider ignore unconscious man (xpost from GD)

What would you do? A man named John posted this picture on his Facebook page with this caption:

"This was my morning: an unconscious man lies on the floor of a packed BART train while dozens of commuters ignore him. This in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the world. WTF has happened to us?"


John says he waited for a few minutes to see if anyone was going to help the man. No one did.
So John checked on him:

"And as soon as I went over to see if he was OK (he wasn't), I suddenly became invisible to the crowd. I had to get uncomfortably loud before someone by the intercom called the conductor."

BART ended up holding the train at the station.
John says:

"The BART people were very kind. He was barely conscious and incoherent. He managed to get up with help. But couldn't walk off the train by himself. The BART folks said they were taking him to get medical attention."
