San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Trains and Ride to the Airport

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system (short BART) is a rapid transit commuter rail and subway system serving San Francisco, Oakland, and the surrounding suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area. It uses 1676mm Indian gauge.

It began operation in 1972 and extends over 167km and 44 stations. Its fleet consists of two types of stock. A and B stock was produced by Rohr Industries between in the late 60s early 70s. The more recent C stock has been produced by Alstom and Morrison-Knudsen in the 80s.

This film shows a few scenes of BART. It starts at Millbrae, which is the south-western terminus. We then hop on a C stock train and ride one station to San Francisco International Airport. Finally, we see a few trains arriving and departing at Powell Street Station in downtown San Francisco.

I remember riding the bart when I was in the 6th grade going to a cal football game.. Had a fun time on the BART. Wish we would have one here in the sacramento Valley.. Traffic is getting crazy here, and there is more pressure to put more high ways here..

1:41, I don't think I have ever seen the train that empty! Even at 5am.

This was the peak loudness era for BART, before they introduced the new trains and began fixing the poor wheel design on the older ones. Got so bad that some people wore earplugs.

Really enjoyed this. These trains sound like TTC in TORONTO CANADA!

[pizzasubs]

those Monterey Aquarium cars are pretty clever looking, nice

[VinceHere]

The trains sound like the R142A's/R143's/R188's but high pitched.

Thank you so much for this video! I wanted to test some headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC), and it was surprisingly difficult to find a video with sounds of BART trains from the interior of them!

[Luftschlange]

Yeah, I believe the announcements are synthesized.

[SuperWorldRailFanProductions]

I like the A stock since they have AC motors.

[AndreiTupolev]

Looks quite spacious, if rather noisy. Nice view of the airport.

[CristianMtnz]

The cars are so wide. They wouldn't be able to run on Chicago track because their width would cause them to derail or get stuck at the 90° turns.

[MychaelHall]

That was an 9 Cars Richmond Train leaving Powell street station.

[seanandliv]

Wow at millibre I’ve never seen Barr that empty before! now they built the bart line from Pittsburgh bay point to Antioch if I’m correct

[davidnissim]

The only bad thing about BART is the noise. The new Fleet Of The Future cars should get rid of that.

[diamondplatt]

I wonder what Marta train remix vs Bart train remix would be like?
🤔

And at 3:47, the United Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes a cameo in this BART video
