Facing the hue and cry of anti-alcohol abuse groups from around the Bay Area, BART today abandoned a month-old policy allowing booze ads on the public transit system.

After a lengthy debate, the board voted 7 to 2 to reverse itself, scrapping a policy that allowed 17 percent of all advertisements in the BART system to hock beer, wine and spirits.

“I would like to thank the audience for their passion on this issue,” said Director Gail Murray.
