I wonder if they considered laying broad-gauge track to facilitate some sort of future thru service. Maybe they're using off-the-shelf DMUs, so that custom broad-gauge units would cost a fortune.
Yeah, BART really wants you to see eBART as simply part of the rest of the Yellow Line, the problem being that these trains are never going to end up at SFO. It's a little misleading, but making eBART appear as if it's part of the rest of the line makes sense if you want to make the transfer seem as seamless as possible and get more people riding it.
@@BayAreaTransitNews Since this line only connects with the Yellow line, I genuinely think that this is less confusing than having a whole separate designation for it.
No way in hell. BART hella outdoes LA Metro. which by the way doesn’t even connect to LAX. The way BART does to SFO. BART is way more convenient and has been around longer. The transfer points in the city to MUNI is just right above from the BART platform. LA Metro is a mess while transferring, going up and down stairs and taking a bus for the rest of two extensions. No way it is better. WRONG
Lol, no. It's good that Metro is growing! But it is a _very_ far cry from BART and the rail system in the Bay Area in general. Metro is more comparable to SF Muni in terms of quality and scope. Metro is only 2-3% larger than Muni by ridership. BART is a monster by comparison. Just BART by itself, without all the other rail lines in the Bay Area, is the 4th largest rapid transit system in the country. If you add in all the lines into one system like Metro does then the Bay Area MTC is among the largest rapid transit networks in the world. Unlike the LA Metro, we usually count all the transit lines separately in the Bay, but they are all technically under the MTC umbrella.
This is even better than the BART with FotF trains.
I'm surprised it actually uses a trolley-style bell as opposed to most other modern equipment such as NJT's GTWs
Yeah true, but it gives me nostalgia so I’m staying with the trolley-style bell ❤❤
BARTは広軌、延伸区間のeBARTは標準軌と軌間が違うために、ピッツバーグ・ベイポイント駅で、ホームタッチで乗り継がねばならない、ただ運用は終点のアントリッチまではサンフランシスコ国際空港線とされている。

For the return trip, the car was signed "SFO Airport." Cheating?

@@TohaBgood2 I agree it would confuse first time users wanting to go to SFO airport.
That jerk's phone conversation in the background ruined the entire video.
La metro is better ralis
Allen guzman I agree. But they need to extend the subway (heavy rail)
