San Francisco: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)

[Xerxes860]

before in the 90s i think, the didn't used to have the south train lines, it it only went down to daly city, then they made colma as their new station for the first time, i remember when it was being built when i was young

[Jemmer1000]

WOW Classic BART

[AdelioAltomar]

I have to admit that that is a LOT of cars on one train. o:

[cheeriosinabowl]

They are comfortable, fast and just a bit pricey. Overall a good ride.

[TaffyAlpha]

I HAVE NEVER TAKEN BART AND I NEED TO HAVE A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Here's my question:

Do I have to pay to transfer to another train???

[theshugchannel]

@TaffyAlpha nope

[micronc]

@TaffyAlpha No. You don't have to pay to transfer to another train. You only pay when you enter and exit the system.

no tenia idea que San Francisco tenia metro

[heartlessvietboy]

I wonder where trains get their electricity from. Does it require the train to also get electricity from the tracks or does it just take the tracks to send electricity to the electric motor underneath the train. How does it send electricity to run the train? Does electricity flow throughout the tracks? Can you tap into free electricity from the tracks? How dangerous are the tracks?

[KrayzieCD]

@heartlessvietboy Most urban rail systems utilize a 'third rail' to distribute electricity to the trains. Each car of the train usually has 2 prongs that protrude from the underside that touch the third rail and that's where they draw their power from.

[heartlessvietboy]

Because nobody Exposed the Train, in our mind are the wheels rolling. There's an Electric Motor underneath the Train isn't there? THAT's what's rolling the train!

MUNI = U-Bahn/Metro

BART=S-Bahn/RER

[TheMelamia]

Sorry but the London Underground has much more personality ( and I am a Bay Area native).

[DOUGIE1979]

looks very 70's retro man.

[RZOTramp]

In Brazil BART have a cousin, is the Train of Line 1 Blue in subway os São Paulo, both are made in the 70's and by The Budd Company.

[DaPlatinumJedi]

Man, those eggcrate signs at the platforms and the brown seats. That's how I remember seeing BART as a kid.

[insolence]

I hear the BART train cause I live near it. I hear it every day of the week... what a big part of my life BART is, lol

[afgzamir]

[MrAvancini]

[magnum123451]

They filmed the train scenes in Predator 2 on The BART!

[karoslif]

way better than los angeles

[jeffsandychelsea]

@karoslif But it's still a small system compared to the massive population it serves...

[MarcelHall21]

I remember the Old Skool Bart Cars Back in the Days.

[mikokat]

@MarcelHall21 They're still the same cars.

[iWilzon]

ahh doesnt everyone remember the electric 3rd rail? lol i love when when i see bart with a freeway background

[thepartyb0y]

BART sucks.

Dirty seats, dirty carpets, urine and shit on everything.

It is the nastiest and most expensive public transit system I have ever been on.

Californians **Write your local Congressional Reps/Senators**

DEFUND BART 2014 Plan.

Stop Bart Board of Directors plan to remove 80% to 90% of current seating on BART trains.

Tell the BART Board:

Let's All Be Seated....All of us.

[BTornado14]

[brugghen]

summer 2000

[white93taurusgl]

@brugghen I was going to say, this is Classic BART

[mrivera1]

This had to have been recorded in the mid to late '90's, maybe even 2000-2001.

[BARTgai]

Oh man, this brings back memories of when I rode BART as a kid.

[slicknickxp]

I remember those brown seats and those old signs.

[yamaguchiballas2]

[eggowong]

Those overhead destination signs are hecka old!!!
