yo sick!! I really love Bart and the new trains. I’m trying to get into posting Bart and i recently got a cab view but i have to edit nice meeting people who also love the trains!!
The traction motor sounds when arriving and departing reminds me a lot of the LA’s Metro Red (B)/Purple (D) Line Breda A650s, and I love it A really nice train to see
Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers. The funny part about this is all of the other BART trains that appeared were older models. The train you were on was probably the only new model seen in the video. Either way, keep up the great work.
Bay Area resident here. Enjoy the Fleet of the Future. It will serve you well as the Legacy Fleet served us. We will miss those old trains a lot. They saved us from traffic.
Bart runs 2 express trains, both are slightly different. The Pleasant Hill limited skips rockridge, Orinda,Lafayette, and Walnut Creek. The other is the 24th Street limited which is the one this train was doing, and it only skips Lafayette and orinda. Only the yellow line has skip stop services
I mean, a new train set costs at least $500K each in today's economy. At least BART is trying with all the infrastructure improvements to keep the system running like does.
@@MJofLakelandX Not to mention contending with station cleanliness, paying the workers, paying for much-needed security/police (stabbings in recent months....), and fare evasion (there were talks of deploying the types of subway turnstiles, just like the ones they have in New York.... the ones that extend from the floor to the ceiling).
This is nice. This gives me an idea as to how the new trains for MARTA in Atlanta will look. The same company is building the new trains here that built the BART trains. I loving the style. Can't wait till 2022 when our first new trains hit the lines here in Atlanta.
Can you do a front cab shot of the new trains showing the control panel and speeds through the Transbay Tube , Berkeley Hills Tunnel , and Millbrae to San Bruno during off peak hours ? Your videos are great for kids to watch !
Thank you; I can try, but unfortunately this particular train appears to have been replaced by a legacy train in the last few weeks, so I can definitely film the Transbay Tube and Millbrae on the Red Line but perhaps not the Berkeley Hills tunnel for now.
BART basically wants to get these trains moving in the rush-hour direction as quickly as possible to increase line capacity, and the easy way to do that is to speed up the train's journey my making it skip unnecessary stops.
The last time I remember it was non stops on the yellow line from SFO to Daly City in the PM commute, No stops in San Bruno, South San Francisco, and Colma Stations. I rode it for myself, and we didn't have these new BART trains at the time like we have now.
Don't worry most wheels made by Bombardier sound like that at high speed. It's not a wheel flat. Toronto's newer subway cars and Go's Bi-Levels make the same sound.
Every though about doing a full length recording of each line (end-to-end). It may be a hassle but I'll like to see the views of Bay Area from average train passenger's perspective.
I happened to spot this train heading the opposite direction I was going a couple times while riding BART, and I used the exact time I saw it and where it was to pinpoint its schedule. There's more info in the description about when this particular train runs, if you want to catch a ride on it yourself.
Hello! Can I ask if I use this video to compare to a door chime in my short video? (Unfortunately, comment with link will be removed.) Of course I'll credit your channel as I upload.
@@agems56 Comparing subways with High Speed Rail makes not much sense. 76 mph in a tunnel is very impressive for BART, considering the top speed of the Berlin U-ban is only 45 mph. Other references: (NY- 55 mph, Paris-43 mph, Shanghai- 60 mph, LA-79 mph)
@BayAreaTransitNews Since you know more about this service, can you tell me why BART had it? Was it faster than the regular train? Were there other similar services in what it became the Red, Green, or Blue lines? I just want to find more information about it. By the way, when are you posting new videos?
@@Alejandro-vn2si they ran it to help ease crowding and provide more frequent service on the yellow line. These trains typically operated between Montgomery and Pleasant Hill, the busiest section of the line. I do have a lot of footage in the pipeline but life has just been super busy, once I have a minute I will upload more though!
Still too noisy. But at least the cloth seats are gone. They would absorb dirt, liquids smuggled onboard and other unmentionable fluids. I often brought a piece of cardboard in my attache case to place on a filthy seat fabric.
I want vídeos of bart trains on the alvarado street too. It will be my favorite. I want more new vídeos to that street. Please do me the favor. I want a lot of vídeos at the alvarado street railfanning.
When this video was shot, BART ran peak-hour trains between Pleasant Hill and various San Francisco stations. They changed these trains' terminus to Concord in 2020, before COVID-19 forced BART to cancel peak-hour service to cut costs.
I love the nerdiness of this place :)
We all do :)
Same, it makes me feel accepted.
No its druggy
I Love All Places.

A really nice train to see
I really want to see more new trains running on the San Francisco Transbay Lines in the years to come! I really can't wait!
The lighting in the cars makes it kinda look like an airplane! Love this video!
Such beautiful cars. Congrats on 1k!
Agreed.
This is the route I take to work every day! Pleasant Hill to SF (I get off at Powell)
Very nice video! Great job! I really like it! Very eager to see more and more cars on the system within the next three years. Can't wait!
Agreed.

Agreed.
What for amazing trains 👌😍And love California so much one of my loveley states 😍
7:39 Lafayette Station
12:05 Orinda Station
Why the train didn't stop? Is this an express train?
It is about time to see that BART is finally purchasing new equpitment,
You act as if the 1970s was a long time ago ;-)
@@jamesparson considering the average life span is about 30 years. It is way over due for replacement.

How West Oakland has changed since I went through there on the BART in "97" , there was hundred's of steel prop's holding up all those Freeway ramps .
A event April 20th at macarther Bart This sat tomorrow ‘ We all must go the last legacy fleet on foot .. 🦶

Does this mean that MARTA will have a new fleet of subway trains for Atlanta?
This train reminds me of my trip to San Francisco.
Very Good Train Ride.
Nice 1,000 Subscribers Special.
I'm ready to ride it again now

oh they kept the futuristic space theme nice
what a site the freeway is gridlocked how normal even during quarantine

Train Did Not Stop At Lafayette And Orinda.
It was on its last stop and going the opposite direction
Interesting to see them skip stops without any passing loops
Oh they should use the Fleet of the future as a Washington metro
Hopefully they added those extra officers to the system by now :)
Nope
I’ll ride the Yellow Line one soon
They got on the other lines, Red, Orange, Green, and Blue.
The BART Yellow Line does go through SFO Airport, correct?
@@jermainesimmons2944 yes
I saw one of those cars on the back of a semi in Arkansas headed toward Memphis, TN! Wonder what it was doing in Arkansas?
That is awesome, and very strange. That's not the route I would take from Plattsburgh, NY, to the Bay Area.
@@BayAreaTransitNews nice video
What about Trains that start in Millbrae? I have never see a New train on the weekend on the Yellow line? Why is that?
It goes there wdym
In the next video can you take the bart train to Westfield mall in San Francisco get of at Powell street station
How many of the old cars have been taken out of service?
Hardly any, they'll be sticking around for some time.
QuarioQuario54321 how many of the new cars are in service.
About 40-ish spread across a couple lines.
None. They will start retiring once BART hits the quota for receiving enough of the new trains.
None
How many cars each train have?
Between 4 and 10, depending on line and time of day
Back in my city of Atlanta, MARTA usually gets 4 to 6 cars daily. But when you live near the Bankhead MARTA Station, it only carries two cars.
Well, I'd like it more if more Americans used Subways
Wow! Such a wide wagon. Is track wider than 1435?
Yup. BART is Indian broad gauge (1676mm).
It is the only track gauge in existence in the U.S.
Sound these new cars already have a flat wheel
Don't worry most wheels made by Bombardier sound like that at high speed. It's not a wheel flat. Toronto's newer subway cars and Go's Bi-Levels make the same sound.

Yeah, it's on my bucket list for the channel. That'll certainly make for some long videos to enjoy.
why train is emply
How do you manage to get a ride on these? Is there an online tracker or schedule?
I happened to spot this train heading the opposite direction I was going a couple times while riding BART, and I used the exact time I saw it and where it was to pinpoint its schedule. There's more info in the description about when this particular train runs, if you want to catch a ride on it yourself.
why did it skip two stations? Also, how do those brand new cars already have a bad wheel?

Can someone please time stamp the face reveal ?
Sometimes BART Stations May Shut Down Relating To COVID-19.
0:45 you just exposed your face on the lcd screen
The train arrived on the wrong tracks LMAO
That's the correct side of the platform for trains turning back at Pleasant Hill.

Opposite commute direction.
