For me, I want to buy one. The is either gonna be the best idea of my life, or the worst

[TheCloakedTiger]

A diner... A homeless shelter... Maybe even a home for a railfan... who knows! :)

[patrickstar]

Put em in a big empty yard where graffiti is encouraged so some have a place to go paint and practice and the news channels and normies would love that for sure

[zanemarte]

I have an idea
Repurpose at least two 10 car trains as a theme park ride, maybe as a kind of roller coaster that displays BART's "Fremont Flyer" from 1972; except that it will go from one station to another and it will be continous until it reaches beyond the end of line station and back to the platform.

I'm certain a set will go to the Western Railway Museum in Suisun City.

[WMAC_Master]

western railway museum should get one
i'd buy one for the sake of the memories

They were originally supposed to stay in service to increase capacity. Not any more.

At 0:37, there is a Disneyland ad on the back wall on the right. Weird.

[IsaacAmadeo]

0:57 they already are homeless shelters

[kennethsouthard]

How could you make a food truck out of one these? Even as a trailer, it would be too wide too long and too heavy unless you pulled it with a semi and then you would not be able to maneuver into anywhere.

[collincoolisGOATED]

I hope they put one in a museum. It was the first method of transit in California after all

[dennisthebrony]

Use em as a Camping or Guest Cabin. Or use em as a GAMING ROOM and remove all the seats and put them in the basement!! And the Cabcar can make a good train simulator!! XD

[truthreignsforever]

Oh yes, it’s exactly what I need, where do I get one? 🤔

[yevgeniylysyy]

What was the need to replace old BART cars? The best subway cars I know. And they don't look like they fall apart. In Buenos Aires first subway cars made in 1913 worked until 2012-2013. BART cars are much better, and could last even longer!

[graphtonix]

Is BART still saling the old train cars???

[PHope-slnj]

The New BART Trains Will Have 775 New Cars.

[graphtonix]

Do I have any chance of getting one of the old BART train cars???

[ejdsndnj]

I like the old Bart trains not the new ones

[justincui]

If the fusaelage of a Boeing 727 can be converted to a street vehicle, why not an old BART car?

[SunsetSemaphores]

BART scrapped all but 8 of the cars... and only 3 will keep their trucksets.

Their aluminum was sent overseas.

This won't age well.
