BART - Fremont & SFO Trains @ MacArthur Station

This station does not get a break, a train stops here every 2 minutes or so. If no problems arise, here's how the trains are assigned to each track. The island platform that I was standing on (Platforms 2 & 4) are for trains heading to Downtown Oakland (Fremont & SF trains). Platform 2 is for trains arriving from the Richmond leg of the BART system (Ashby Station) bound for Fremont or Millbrae (Daly City on Saturdays). Platform 4 is for SFO-bound trains (SFO/Millbrae on evenings & weekends) on the Pittsburg/Bay Point Line (trains coming from the Rockridge Station). The opposite island platform (Platforms 1 & 3) is for trains going to Richmond or Bay Point - Platform 1 reserved for Richmond trains & Platform 3 for Bay Point. This can change during a heavy commute, but this is the basic rule of thumb.

@edwardchen2009 I think it was 3 cars, but I'm not totally sure.

How many cars was this Fremont train?

@edwardchen2009 Next time I go on a free-for-all ride I'll try to get one.

Can you please add a clip of a 3 car train at MacArthur?
