BART: Saturday Action at Daly City and Glen Park

Today we are in San Francisco, California and the Bay Area Rapid Transit System, or BART. It is a fast and frequent commuter rail network, which connects San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and many other cities on the East Bay. In San Francisco it runs as a subway under Market Street, which is one of the main thoroughfares of the city.
BART uses the unusual “Indian gauge,” which is a bit wider than standard gauge. As such, the ride on these trains is rather smooth and also, the trains have an amazing acceleration.
The film starts at Daly City station, which is south of San Francisco, where many trains terminate. Only some continue further southbound for San Francisco Airport and Millbrae. The north end of the station has a pedestrian bridge, from which one has a magnificent view over the station approach.
We then head to Glen Park station, which is in a beautiful neighborhood of San Francisco. The underground station is built as a large concrete structure with a bit of daylight falling on the center of the platform.
Enjoy!

Why do I think these BART trains are so cool? I love watching them take off.

[@gartbull]

[@hemirt4096]

[@BayAreaTransitNews]

I see you got nice weather that day; you're really lucky!

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

You picked the best day to film usually it's like 50% fog

[@joshtj44]

Beautiful camera work

[@scheis123]

Nicely done.

[@JonathanChan212]

I like it when you said the parking lot is ugly. (And really, it's ugly. LOL!)

[@shaungordon9737]

nice looking suburb

[@MrMrabaunza]

it's not bad at all if you don't mind fog. also that DC station is filthy. piss smells everywhere and one day after work I found 5 used needles on the staircase.

[@rolandoruiz5349]

the train sounds like a higher pitch of a r143/r188/r142A

[@alexvasquez9070]

They do for some reason.

[@R42ToMoffat]

So the MTA ripped them off?

[@bobblue_west]

+Rolando Ruiz The noise inside is horrible. Riding from SF Airport. Lovely till train goes into the tunnel. Fingers in ears stuff. (except for the Bakerloo Line in London approaching Regents Pk stn. but that was yrs ago so maybe they've fixed that by now._

[@general682002]

I heard during rebuild, they've replaced the propulsion motor exact like the one for NYCMTA subway, I think Bombardier motor!

[@rafaelasuncionXD2000216]

+Rolando Ruiz ture

[@yukiomiyazaki9035]

Is it possible that you'll revisit this series in the future?

[@Luftschlange]

+Yukio Miyazaki Absolutely!

[@football_fan7208]

When I go to Bart I am First at Hayward station and then I go to 24 mission street and come back with the Dublin/Pleasant train and stop at bay fair and then wait for warm springs

[@aasim8]

Sounds like the New York City Subway

[@metrorailfan2334]

the C stock i guess is shorter than the A/B stock i need help with the BART system since im more of a new york train lover

[@crazyoncoffee]

They are not shorter necessarily. The C1/C2 stock both have cabs integrated into the main compartment/width of the train, reducing the capacity by 4 seats, the space the cab takes up. They were built later than the A/B stock because BART realised that having cab cars with the odd nose cone (A stock) that can't couple in the middle was a bad idea. C stock allows them to couple a five and four car train into a nine-car without rearranging at the depot, the can just do it at a terminal station. The A stock cab is different because the cab is in the nose that juts out from the central length of the car, making the car itself longer.

[@jayforerunner965]

Why do subway trains and make those creepy sounds whenever they come to a Holt or start up again?

[@jakebluethunder]

Funny thing is when I used to ride BART back in the 1990's, I never recalled those noises being so loud or high pitched.

[@T_K_O_]

@@jakebluethunder You're right, they didn't make these noises around that time. Should've only been a buzzing sound from all of the trains. Late 90s through the early 2000s were when trains were refurbished with the new propulsion systems

[@Parzival957]

sounds like the r142a and r188 and r143 propulsion

[@naomielajaponaise301]

C'est bien

[@ethancampbell6076]

Whir tracks completion 5:10

[@tomvarga3092]

You must visit prague metro!

[@Luftschlange]

I have visited prague on multiple occasions already, as you can probably tell from the banner of my channel. It is one of my favorite cities and I particularly love the trams there. I had only taken photographs but the next time I'll get a chance to visit, I'll try to do some filming as well.

[@tomvarga3092]

Luftschlange Ya I saw it on the banner :)

[@mixtumodelismogatobuses8082]

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

So technically this is the fastest Indian train lmao

[@ejdsndnj]

[@SuperValue350]

the train looks so small lmao

[@wharris302]

Look at RH&D railway then

[@rpf276]

Since BART tracks are a larger gauge 1,676 mm (5' 6") Indian gauge vs 1,435 mm (4' 8 1/2") standard BART rail cars actually have more room and are wider inside than a standard metro underground rail car.

[@dnglchlk]

It looks much wider in person. I know because I've been on it plenty.

[@XxLiLGiJoE17xX]

Great video!
