Full ride on the eBART from Antioch to Pittsburg/Bay Point

We are at the Antioch Station at the end of the Yellow Line of BART, where we ride the eBART from there to the other end, which is the transfer station in Pittsburg. The line is only two stations long, with the intermediate station also being in Pittsburg. The line to/from Antioch is run with Stadler GTW DMU cars. We are in Car 106. Once we get to the transfer station, we board the oldest BART cars in the system; the original 1970's-vintage Rohr A2 cars, with car 1250 in the lead, and take the short ride from the transfer station to Pittsburg/Bay Point. Enjoy the view from the trains. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on January 2nd, 2020.

I found out it’s more safe than the BART’s broad gauge train

[@OliversElevators]

Just FYI, this line actually uses Stadler GTW trains, not FLIRT trains. It’s just in the description, so it’s easily fixable.

Noted and changed. Thanks.

I just figured out that the voice of the eBART platforms is Microsoft Anna!

[@pizzasubs]

So you can take the Regular BART trains OR EBART actually from here all the Way to the SFO airport, is that correct?

[@TheSearleFamily123]

Nope, the eBART actually terminates at Pittsburg/Bay Point (as with the regular BART trains), where you have to change for the regular BART train which will get you directly to SFO Airport.

@@TheSearleFamily123 Yeah, it's probably confusing for new riders. They treat the line as if it's continuous, but you always have to switch trains at Pittsburg/Baypoint. The plan is to leapfrog out with the eBART trains to Brentwood and convert the Pittsburg Center and Antioch stations to regular BART and so on. Whenever that actually happens.

@@Rubycon99 Eventually, they will extend this line to Brentwood and there will be a second wBART line on the Capitol Corridor alignment. I think once people get used to these DMU BART lines this will be less confusing.
BART was planning on doing a lot of service expansion via these 15-minute frequency DMU lines. So they're not going anywhere.

@@TohaBgood2 Ugh I want wBART so bad. That I-80 slog to/from del Norte is terrible. DMU or regular trains, I don't care. Sadly, I'll probably be an old man by the time it's even considered.

[@TohaBgood2]

@@Rubycon99 That's actually up to you. If you go to the meetings and work for it then it will happen sooner.
BART is extremely easy to manipulate. No one shows up for the meeting and the people who do get their way. This is partly why BART is so screwed up lately. Only a few crazy "activists" have been showing up to the meetings and some of the stuff they've asked for is completely insane.
For example, they explicitly lobbied BART to keep the cops in the parking lots and "out of sight" because the cops supposedly made the riders uncomfortable. Even the president of the BART board recently said that she feels uncomfortable and scared when she see cops and wants them to stay out of view, away from the riders. She's a politician. She doesn't even ride BART! She wouldn't say that if she didn't think that that nets her some brownie points with the crazies that have been showing up and lobbying BART to do their bidding.
