BART and the Lizzie line aren’t even vaguely comparable.
The Lizzie line is just one line in London. The closest comparable line on the BART system is the yellow line.
The Yellow line seems to operate a maximum of 5 trains/hour, over a distance of 62 miles, at a max speed of 70mph, and still uses a fixed block system.
The Lizzie line in comparison operates 24 trains/hour in its central core, has a total distance of 73miles, a max speed of 90mph, and operates an almost fully automated moving block system in its central core (that how it can achieve 24tph).
The two systems aren’t even in the same league when it comes to capacity, speed or capability.
