Exploring the new Antioch eBART Extension
Просмотров 9 тыс.6 лет назад
Today we will be exploring the new Antioch Extension Project for BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Filmed on iPhone 6s.
I lived in San Francisco (Lower Haight/Duboce Triangle) from 2004-2015, and I still currently commute in from the burbs (Vallejo) to work in the city. I ❤ the new MUNI Central City Subway -- it's FANTASTIC! It makes it SO MUCH easier to visit Chinatown, which I could only previously do on crowded buses which was a pain in the you know what. Now, I just have to get off at Powell Station (when I'm coming downtown after work) and just walk over to Market Street/Union Square and go directly to Chinatown. I can also then just go back to Powell and get on Richmond BART to go home. Seamless. I ❤ it!
Have you ever been air horned by the old BART trains?
awesome video! very pleasant watch 👍
Thank YOU!
Always fun when the legacy trains didn’t line up with the black tiles lol
❤ Thank you for the BART trip down the memory lane. It’s both enjoyable and educational!
Is the Church St & Duboce Ave only for inbound J Trains, while outbound trains skip the stop? So you can't get off at Church St & Duboce Ave if going outbound unless your a wheelchair passenger?
Have you ever taken muni to Oracle park?
The good old Bart train!
I know you get a free tansfer, but wouldn't it be nice if you could connect without leaving the paid area?
I don't even live in Cali anymore and I'm incredibly excited. People keep underestimating California, but yet again, they're leading the way.
HOLY FAK 1.9B FOR A MILE + SOME RUN OFF!
GOATTT
1:48 Given Caltrain got 3 F40PH-2C locomotives (the long ones, 920-22) in 1998 and 20 new Gallery cars in 2000, I'd expect those to run the last "classic" Caltrain service. If retired in 2024, those last F40s would have been used as long as Amtrak's F40s (26 years)
oh yea a new upload from the goat lol
On KT😊
streetcar lrt subway train. cursed
Why? It's much faster than streetrunning and Muni is in the top three light rail systems in the country by ridership.
@@TohaBgood2 never said I disliked it. It's similar to systems near me. I actually love similar systems. No hate just a bit of a "joke"
@@SkysTrains I'm going to assume that you live in Calgary then. The CTrain is using the exact same model, but slightly older build of the Siemens S200 LRV. The noses are a little different, but the same basic model.
@@TohaBgood2 Calgary is on the list of places to visit. But my train is fully separated but still a tram style train. So not really similar but kinda. You got the right country though I'm in Ottawa
Where are all the people??
How about they make a extension to sf airport
BART already has a connection down to SFO, also SFO technically isn't even in San Francisco, it's in San Mateo County, so Muni wouldn't be able to operate there anyway.

Looks more like a light rail streetcar hybrid than a subway
It is
Yeah, Muni Metro is a light rail system that turns into a light metro in the downtown are to bypass surface traffic. They want to gradually extend the grade separation to make the entre system a light metro. But for now it is still a mixed system.
Thanks! Traveling down to SF via train tomorrow and couldn't figure out if the stations would connect.
The Central Subway looks nice. Getting Caltrain commuters to downtown in minutes is definitely the biggest benefit from it. I do think that the Central Subway should have turned west after Market St along Geary instead of heading to Chinatown. Even if it gets to North Beach, it still will not serve as much of a reliever for the 30 Stockton bus until it gets to the Marina. Frankly, I don't think the Chinatown station will see much ridership. Most tourists will probably get there by walking (2000' from Union Sq to Chinatown) since there is much to see and do along the way. I do understand that the decision was mostly political to appease Chinatown businesses worried about losing the Embarcadero Freeway. However, MUNI built the Central Subway platforms to accommodate 2-car trains ONLY. Therefore, according to MUNI, service past Fisherman's Wharf would be impossible without lengthening all of the platforms to accommodate 4-car trains and passenger volume from the Marina/Union St/Cow Hollow (lengthening AFTER they're built, instead of future proofing, is exponentially more expensive but apparently money is no object). So, with this in mind, I doubt service to the Marina will happen in many of our lifetimes, leaving a subway that handles only a moderate amount of passengers at incredible expense. All of which is why I would have preferred that the Central Subway turned west along Geary to the Outer Richmond/ 19th Ave corridor. The Geary corridor is the busiest and most crowded bus corridor, busier than the 30-Stockton corridor, and w a much longer commute time to get downtown. It would serve a much larger and more populous area of the city and one that has been historically underserved. But as it is, getting downtown for T riders is much faster, as well as Caltrain commuters. Geary is getting BRT Lite which is better than nothing but not as good as Van Ness BRT.
Theoretically, three-car trains fit fine in the Central Subway. But the surface portion of the T line can't accommodate anything beyond two car trains. So until the surface part of the T implements some street closures, the Central Subway will only have two-car trains.
london style ticket barriers nice
Thanks. A video is worth a million words.
You certainly move fast. It is informative
sort of something like this but for the transfer stations would be really nice!
what's the point of rushing through like this you do not need to speed up your footage of the stations, since it conveys the main information about the system, how well made or otherwise it is... &, you get more watch time (more revenue if you are already monetized)... so, pluses for everyone! (anyone who disagrees, please reply with an explanation if you have the time, I am genuinely curious) PS: I know you can slow down the footage, but it ruins the quality of the footage anyway... edit: formatting for easier viewing
It would be insanely boring if I did not speed up the footage as there is basically nothing happening in between stations. My watch time would probably even go down, as the audience retention rate would probably drop. I sped up footage to fit it into a concise package while also having the space to deliver the information I needed to deliver. Hopefully that made sense, and thanks for watching!
@@TransbayTuber the result is, you made it basically unwatchable, at least for me I mean ok, the time between stations maybe... but the stations themselves are well worth the time to film them in full, they are beautiful works of architecture and style, as are the trains in their own way. I guess I am very much a slow-TV type person, but, as a railfan, I do watch reasonable speed things as long as they have content... I do not see the point of your content as it is now... for a person like myself at least if you have an audience you are satisfied with, fine... but, I do not see you to be a very popular channel at this time, &, I feel like you need to slow it down to attract a transit-fan based audience.... I mean, there is content I and many others would otherwise enjoy here, if we could see it.
Union Square Market Street station is unnecessarily too big dawg
I would have to disagree. The station had to be deep to be underneath the BART market street tunnel. The cheapest way to construct is with cut/cover method so they essentially dug a big hole and then filled it back with infrastructure. If they lowered the ceilings, it would have cost even more time and money.
Neah, this was the only way to build it. The Central Subway dips under not one but two existing subway lines under Market!
How long is the walk in minutes?
I clocked it at under 2 minutes from all the way down on the BART platform to the Muni Central Subway platform. It feels a lot quicker though. You spend most of your time riding escalators sideways. All the “armchair transit planners” didn’t know what they were talking about. This is a perfectly fine transfer.
Looking at the raw footage form this video, the time between the platform at Union Square to the platform at Powell St. was just over 1 minute 30 seconds, however, this is with me walking up the escalator at Union Square, and me being able-bodied enough to walk down the stairs to the Powell St. Platform. I suppose it would take maybe a minute or two longer if you were to stand on the escalator, but overall, the transfer isn't that terribly long. At most maybe a few minutes.
Not sure if this was intentional, but you went from the oldest Muni subway station (Forest Hill/Laguna Honda, opened in 1918) to the brand new stations that opened over a century later. Now let's get that North Beach station opened! We already built the damn tunnel.
Yep! We need to make sure that the NIMBYs don't kill the North Beach extension this time! We could have already had the North Beach station if the local millionaires hadn't messed with the Muni plan. We all need to get involved with the extension planning process! If we don't the NIMBYs will find a way to kill it again!
@@TohaBgood2 It seems the plans right now are to extend the tunnels but I feel it would be much quicker to simply build a station in North Beach and then consider an extension during the process or after as engineering and public process for additional tunnels & stations will take years but effectively we have built most of the tunnels and can construct a cut/cover station (or the new extraction method like they used for Chinatown) within a couple of years. The latest polls showed that 92% of residents wanted a North Beach station. and over 70% wanted it to be a subway.
Stop wearing the slave mask. You look ridiculous.
That guy blocked you from making the train.
It is interesting to publsh a video about a new subway line without mentioning in one single word in which city it is. The signs show English place names. The line map shown briefly in the video and the city map suggest that it is San Francisco.
Fair point, and I’d admit that was an oversight on my part. I’ve changed the video title to include “SFMTA” within the title. Thanks for watching! EDIT: And yes, you are correct, this is in San Francisco.
so true
Thanks for this video, any improvement in municipal infrastructure, specifically transit systems, is a step in the right direction.

Really wish they would bring this line back!
Well done! Muni has done a fantastic job with the transfers by the looks of the video
Thanks! I also made two separate videos just detailing how to transfer between Powell and Union Square, but for the two days I was on the Central Subway the Muni staff were very hepful as well.
would be wonderful if he actually showed it... disliked the comment for the reason of not feeling *(in my case) it reflected the the truth of the matter (at least the "looks in the video part") agree with the fact that the little we did see of the system looks really quite good, but the video did it's most to show it to us .....which is sad.
Just finished walking my groceries home from 24th and church. My phone said outbound J in 19 minutes. So i walked abouit 10 minutes to 27th. Checked again while sitting on the hydrant. It said 20 minutes. At 30th St, still no J. This oddysey began at 5:40 pm on a monday, Dec 5th, 2022. I am 85 and walk with a cane, so prolly lucky to have made it. Sure gets dark early. Does anyone really think jeffrey tumlin knows or cares about this rather frequent occurence? I guess serving the public can be a pain in the butt.
Lots of warriors fans
Good vidéo + 1 suscriber ! From France 😉
I went at j church and stop at embadero
I went on the kt line and got in Gilman and Paul and got off in balboa park station
I never seen these trains... A lot has changed since I last was in SF in 2015 (after i moved from there to Oakland then to Riverside)
BART also got new Bombardier/Alstom trains. Caltrain is electrifying and bought incredible Stadler Kiss bi-level trains. Oh, and the San Joaquins is getting Siemens Venture cars and Siemens Charger locomotives like Brightline and VIA rail. Rail transportation in the Bay Area has been killing it lately! They're getting new equipment, expanding service, and speeding up lines, and they have a lot more upgrades coming down the pike. This is literally just a taste! It's pretty exciting what they're doing!
Nice video like and subscribed from Czech Republic 🙂👍👍👍
coolio

Wait what? The last video was from before covid? It’s been so long!
nice
