- bsagdiyev 5y agoBay Area Rapid Transit (?)
- sva_ 5y agoFrom my last visit there in winter, it seems to serve as a homeless encampment (at night at least), but also as a cheap transportation device for the brave.
- ransom1538 5y agoIts a subway type system in the bay area (Bay Area Rapid Transit). It's central location is san francisco. If you live in the san francisco neighboring cities you can use this BART system to get to work. It also connects two airport systems: SFO and Oakland. https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BART-Train-Map-SVBX.png https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/BART-...
- bregma 5y agoIt's a cross between a metro system and a regional rail system in San Franciso, California. Provides regional rail service using metro technology. An odd singular hybrid.
- andbberger 5y agoDefinitely not singular. BART was highly influential when built, unfortunately. WMATA has some of the same mixed s-bahn u-bahn characteristics, especially with the silver line extension
