New Year's Eve On BART - The Rides & Station Arrivals (HD)

Experience for the first time New Year's Eve on the Bay Area's Rapid Transit system, as this short sampling of rides and train arrivals takes place well before the late-night festivities around the bay. Shot on New Year's Eve 2011 (going into 2012), journey through some of BART's transfer and more high-traffic stations, beginning with a 6-car Richmond train pulling into Coliseum/Oakland Airport Station in Oakland from San Leandro.
After that train are these rides and train arrivals in the order they were shot:
(1) 8-car Daly City train traveling between Glen Park and Balboa Park stations in San Francisco*
(2) 10-car Pittsburg/Bay Point train arriving at Balboa Park Station in San Francisco
(3) 9-car San Francisco Airport/Millbrae train departing San Bruno Station for San Francisco Int'l Airport - with bonus departure for Millbrae Station
(4) 9-car San Francisco/Pittsburg Bay Point train pulling into San Francisco Int'l Airport Station from Millbrae**
(5) 8-car Daly City train entering Powell Street Station in Downtown San Francisco*
(6) 10-car San Francisco Airport/Millbrae train pulling into Powell Street Station in San Francisco - with Pittsburg/Bay Point and Daly City arrivals following soon after
All seven of these segments were shot in the morning, several hours before thousands of people would flock to San Francisco for the city's annual New Year's Eve fireworks show.
On this night only (12/31), trains run beyond their usual midnight shutdown until 3am, but with a catch. Richmond and Pittsburg/Bay Point trains traveling through San Francisco -- based off 2010 and 2011 scheduling -- stop at Montgomery Street Station, but NOT Embarcadero. Fremont and Dublin/Pleasanton trains stop at Embarcadero, but NOT Montgomery Street. BART has utilized this to ease overcrowding at these two stations, the closest of the four downtown stops to San Francisco's Embarcadero waterfront, where the fireworks occur.
Although these seven segments were shot in 2011, the special New Year's Eve late-night scheduling mentioned and light morning crowds around the BART system are what you'll see almost every year.

One thing that I love about the bay area is the sound effects and the transportation mainly the trains, airplanes, airports etc

[@natesmainlinevids]

Best part of this video from my childhood, that wonderful and amazing ROARING sound from the 10-car Pittsburg/Bay Point train as the train screamed onto and away from Platform 2.

[@colin7244]

0:09 badass sound when departing a station

[@northerncalirails2008]

Facts

[@DanTheCaptain]

This is cool footage! I love the sound of these trains! I'm facsinated by the BART system. I think it's very unique in that it is ki d pf a cross between a conventional Metro and a Commuter rail system.

[@mvlmeco1]

[@sandydeegram04]

[@connormacleod7010]

I remember when I was going to work in San Francisco in 2001 at the West Oakland BART station they were there for almost 10 minutes because they had to look in the train actually saw one bar police officer with a K-9 unit and a Marine in full combat gear walking with a Bart police officer my sister did not feel safe but once I explained to her what was going on then she started feeling safe again thank you for doing these videos

@sflover89 Yes he was whistling, but I can't remember if someone was blocking the doorway. I think there was still one or two people rushing to board the train.

[@WxStar101]

Happy New Year !!! Great videos as always.

[@lexingtonleffall5329]

Bart is one of the most expensive trains I've been on, but it still really fun

[@connormacleod7010]

I remember taking Bart to the 12th Street BART station in Oakland and then taking the T bus to N.A.S Alameda in the 1980s

[@connormacleod7010]

I've heard some rumors that they're thinking about putting Bart all the way out to Tracy but they're just talking about it

[@connormacleod7010]

Is this KZbin channel is this operated by Bart

[@gamingwithmichael9754]

Me too

[@billysmith5721]

every morning from Concord BART to Powell street BART. worked at Merrill's pharmacy at market and 4th street

[@AJL_90]

You know how crazy the commute is then lol. I go from Castro Valley to Montgomery every morning at 7am, then head back at 5pm. I don't even remember the last time I've gotten a seat.

[@besananthonyba4781]

billy smith I take an sfo airport / milibae train in concord to Powell st to the mall

[@WxStar101]

I'm sure this 5 car Daly City shown towards the end of the video is coming from Richmond. I believe it's cause after it follows a 4 car, which Fremont uses with a mix of 5 cars (Richmond uses all 5 cars on Sat schedule). And that TO, wow, probably it has to do with a door obstruction, but I have never seen TOs do that. I think I know that guy, and I think he's Peter (who I used to have on some weekday mornings on one of the last trains of the morning commute. He's really nice).

[@manosdeorlac6922]

At 28:34 we see AD frames on the Wall. As these Ads strobe past think. What if each AD said NO then DRINKING then EATING then VAPING then SOLICTING etc. ON BART. Woooosh-eeeeee-NO DRINKING EATING-you get it.

[@TheTrainEnthusiast2010]

Those trains are gone now :(

[@jadenaaronbrown1232]

I wonder if the new trains will sound better

[@sflover89]

What happened at 27:55? Was that the train operator whistling? I also heard him say "May I have your attention please"? Was there someone blocking one of the doorways of one of the train car?

[@elijahjohnbuen844]

Sometimes when I go on BART some people don't like me because my service animal is with me but some people Do Not know about service animals

[@kennyholeater2494]

The old trains are far superior than the new ones -- the new ones are nothing but cattle cars

[@evanstonbalce9588]

In your opinion
