BART From San Francisco Int'l Airport to Daly City - Full Sectional Ride (HD)

Enjoy the first-ever complete BART ride out of SFO, as this 9-car San Francisco/Pittsburg Bay Point train departs Platform 3 at the tenth-busiest airport in the United States for Daly City Station in Northern San Mateo County on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the Bay Area.

Since the opening of San Francisco Int'l Airport Station in 2003, the San Francisco/Pittsburg Bay Point train --- now one of only two trains that serves the airport at any given time --- has made it easier for out-of-towners to tour San Francisco and the Bay Area for excellent entertainment, shopping, recreational and photo opportunities.

However, this clip shows only the SFO-to-Daly City stretch of the BART system because Daly City is the end of the line for all San Francisco and peninsula-bound trains originating in Fremont and Dublin/Pleasanton. Those from Richmond Station in West Contra Costa County also terminate in Daly City, but only on Saturdays. Passengers headed in the Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont directions (from San Mateo County) technically can transfer to those two trains at Daly City Station. Normally all Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont trains arriving in Daly City pull into Platform 1, but on rare occasions, Platform 2.

Although the very next northbound stop (Balboa Park) is BART's official designated transfer point for this purpose, some commuters may want to get off a stop earlier in Daly City for priority seating, as trains usually fill up quickly upon arrival at the four Downtown San Francisco stations.

** Videographer's Note**
Lead car in this video 1275, last car 347. At the end, an 8-car San Francisco/Dublin Pleasanton arrives on Platform 1. Finally, the train on which this video was filmed is the exact same one shown in the following clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eQISCOMbLc

@WxStar101 i shot this at 3:47pm on a Saturday. the schedule on BART's website designates 3:47pm as a departure time for the SF BAY PT train.

I actually rode this just earlier this day when me and my folks went to San Francisco for our Presidents' Day this day. It was a fun ride! When it accelerated fast, it almost felt like riding inside a plane that was taking off :D I only rode this twice, once when I was little (hardly remembered) and just a few hours ago :)

@bartfansma You should've gotten some SF/Fremont trains and Richmond trains at Daly City. I'm pretty sure they run 4-5 cars all day on Saturday til 7.

I miss San Francisco. Definitely my favorite city on the West Coast.
