    Definitely similar trains.

    BART and DC Metro had their Gen 1 rail cars both built by Rohr Industries.

    MARTA had their Gen 1 rail cars built by Franco-Belge and had their final assembly done by Rohr, the same company that built the BART and DC Metro Gen 1 rail cars.

    The MARTA and DC Metro Gen 1 cars are the same length (75 feet long) with 3 doors.

    The BART Gen 1 cars are both 75 feet long (Type A cab) and 70 feet long (type B trailer car) and have only 2 doors.

  • AS FAR AS THE SOUTHEAST IS CONCERNED, MARTA TRANSPORTATION IS THE BEST. BUT AS A 10 YEAR RESIDENT OF ATLANTA, I WISH THEY WOULD CONTINUE EXPANDING THEIR SUBWAY AND/OR INTRODUCE COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE TO ACCOMMODATE SUBURBAN AREAS. THE CITIES POPULATION IS AROUND 500,000, BUT THE METROPOLITAN AREA IS AROUND 5,000,000. MY CONCERN IS STREETS ARE VERY OVERCROWDED WITH CARS AND BUSES.

  • @WantToBeAmerican1 yeah-and-septa

  • How good is connecting bus service to places like Alpharetta and Marietta? I've got plans to visit in June and would like to know. Could I take a train to Doraville station and, say, get a bus to Alpharetta or Marietta?

  • does MARTA , BART and The DC Metro all use very simular trains?

  • 500k daily.

  • It's interesting that on BART, you still hear the regular announcements from train operators. Didn't know there were any subway systems left in North America that were still like that, since CTA in Chicago got rid of manual station stop announcements like 10-15 years ago.

  • That's teh same for Washington DC's system. You only hear the operated voice when the doors are opening and closing.

  • On the S.F. BART system, the train operator makes the announcements, telling passengers the name of the next station as the train approaches, and the trains destination just before the doors close.

    Sometimes, you can actually hear and understand what the operator is saying.

    Maybe when the aging equipment is replaced an automated information system will be installed.

  • big I mean, bad typo
