BART: "OAK Airport" Trains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The latest change in BART signage is now adding "OAK Airport" to the destination for all trains stopping at Coliseum Station. Effective 1/7/23, Blue, Green, and Orange line trains have the "OAK Airport" line heading south, before Coliseum; Blue, Green, and Orange lines have the same line heading north, before Coliseum.
IMHO, I am not a fan of this change since it now takes longer to find out the true destination of the train, and not a single one of these trains stops at the airport proper. It's only useful for the incredibly tiny amount of passengers going to the airport. Now, it takes longer for the Destination Signs and Platform Announcements to get to the main point and it ends up confusing people because there is too much detail. See bartcars.weebl... on how BART's announcements keep getting longer and longer.

the washington metro passes through two airports but does not display on the electronic overhead signs. Rather that the landmark is placed below station signages to indicate which direction the airports are for example. they do not have a sign that says "reagan/dc/largo" rather it's just "largo" for blue line trains for example.
bart can do the same instead of overloading the overhead signs and place the airport directions on the station signs. the san francisco and sfo bound trains make sense. they are clearly marked on platform signs.
Why can’t George just say Oakland Airport?
I know, right?

one of the cleanest bart cars ive seen for the legacy fleet
Rain works wonders indeed
They know that the old cars are being retired so they stopped maintaining anything non-catastrophic on the old cars.
@@TohaBgood2 Yeah, I realized they weren't really maintaining them when I noticed all the BART logos were getting more and more faded.
@@Rubycon99 And I think we can all see why that was happening. They probably planned the September 11 retirement of the old fleet for a while now and were delayed by Alstom inability to deliver enough cars during Covid.
Tell me why I seen this and I walked into the room and this was on my recommended while I was watching this on phone

4:57 Is this concord?
That’s Bay Fair
@@phantompinoy oh
No it’s Fremont station
@@gerghhhttg2913 I see couldn’t tell because it’s night time
Richmond trains don't go to concord station. Only the yellow line's Antioch and SFO Airport trains.
Passengers don’t need BART to add OAK AIRPORT on the platform sign. We have a map!
Uhhhhhm, maybe it's easier for tourists?
@@lucaspadilla4815 we have maps
@@phantompinoy And this is why USA transit is so primitive compared to other countries lmao. Ik, cuz maps
The BART map has 5 big lines, not even remotely as bad as other systems across the world. Only the super clueless will have trouble. This change confuses actual commuters since the most useless pieces of information are prioritized over everything else (train length, door count, airport connection, THEN the actual destination)
@@lucaspadilla4815 Uh, there are a million criticisms one could make about American transit, but this one doesn't even make sense. Maps are the issue? You don't have maps?
