I lived in the bay area for 5 years. Your videos brought all those memories back. I hope and pray to move back there. I had to leave to move to Canada in the pandemic and I miss every bit of the bay. It is a whole different vibe there. Please keep making these beautiful videos. Love your Japan videos too but the bay ones hit home ❤. I was in a meditative happy state watching this and your SF strolling video. Thank you ❤
I love this videos. They are so tranquil. Maybe you could film the yellow line to Antioch too? When I stayed at my son I used this line to go to downtown and I loved it.
Lol, BART is the first fully automatic rapid rail system in the world. They are now switching to brand new Alstom trains and ultramodern comunications-based automatic train control (CBTC) of the latest generation from Hitachi. There is absolutely nothing about BART that is even remotely "19th century." It was designed by aerospace companies in the 60s and 70s and upgraded right now to the latest tech in existence. BART has more in common with space-age monorail/maglev/gadgetbahn technology than a traditional train.
@@TohaBgood2 Try Vancouver Skytrain or Montreal's rapid transit systems. Larger, faster and way more modern. BART is not fully automated. Skytrain and REM are fully automated. But good on them to upgrade the systems and rolling stock because it's needed.
@@Kiera_Jackson74 This is nonsense. BART has been a fully automatic system from the outset. It's quite literally the first fully automatic rapid rail system in the world. With only the PATCO Speedline predating it by a couple of years. But that is an individual line rather than a whole system. The train attendants on BART are there for safety not to operate the trains. They merely approve the actions that are suggested by the automatic system and service the trains in the case of a breakdown or an accident. This is literally exactly the same as Skytrain, the REM and any other automated system. With the only distinction being that the people minding the trains are located on the trains themselves rather than at a central control center. Given BART's pretty crazy reach this is fully justified. BART's longest line is about the same length as the second longest line on the LIRR, which is commuter rail length. It's 60 miles long (94 kms). And before the pandemic BART had about 400k daily riders, very similar to Skytrain's 500k. And this even though BART is an S-bahn rather than a subway!
Honestly America you need to pick up your transit game. The Bart is a joke it's dirty, smelly, doesn't run on time if at all has all the bells and whistles and charms of 18th century Victorian times
@@TohaBgood2 I've been on Bart a half dozen times and it's a joke, old, beat up and unreliable. And I never watch Fox. Compared to Canadian systems it's 19th century
@@Kiera_Jackson74 Lol, you have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, and btw BART just finished upgrading to brand new Canadian trains from Alstom/Bombardier. Are you saying that your trains suck? 😁😁😁BART now has a 100% modern fleet that is on average two years old. Literally all of your systems are running outdated trains compared to BART. BART is a high speed regional metro with 80 mph speeds and full automation. Nothing in Canada or Europe comes even remotely close. It covers the area of a European country and serves one of the most important economic regions in the world and by far the most important and largest technology center on the planet. Sit down. You're embarrassing yourself.
Lol, subways are "outdated technology"? What else? Is air an outdated breathing medium? How about light? Is light like the previous generation of vision? Should we switch to microwave sensing now? 🤡🤡🤡

Thanks, that means a lot! I hope you get to come back soon
All the BART sounds. Some of them insanely loud; through the trans bay tunnel in particular!
5:20 Nice Catch! This car (1164) will be preserved at the Western Railway Museum!
@@richrenwick3123 oh nice!

52:58 ma'am the clipper reader for that fare gate is to your left
Every time I see those all BART trains all I think of is that scene in Predator 2 which is in LA which I don't understand why they were there.
lol, i have no idea either. I dont think the metro was even open when that movie came out
@@StrollwithMe1
That came out 1990 so I believe it was still under construction.
Good old 19th century technology there for ya

Lol, what are you even talking about, bud? Have you ever even been on BART? I get the impression that all you know about BART comes from Fox News.
He speaks truth
@@alanchen6625 How would you know all the way from China? At least BART doesn't flood and kill thousands of people.

very outdated technology

@TanielCoolGuy the legacy fleet will basically end revenue serive this upcoming September (unless needed for emergencies or special events).
