M97GateAlpha Posted May 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2010 Just wanted to say hi from the Bay Area, I work as a T/O for BART. My screen name is the first switch I had to crank on the job out of training way back when. I love NYC and all the public transportation, I would love to get a job out there someday. I have videos n pictures I want to post soon. Here is my Youtube account, sometimes I post stuff there. http://www.youtube.com/user/thebutch72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been on the SF/Oakland area BART once in my life around 1995/96 and really enjoyed it. Also a blast was riding the world famous cable cars in Downtown San Fransicisco. Hope to go on it in near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M97GateAlpha Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share #13 Posted May 31, 2010 I got up to 78 once or twice. 80 is the top speed, I go anywhere from 6 to about 67 most of the time. 37 coming into a station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKorean Posted June 4, 2010 Share #19 Posted June 4, 2010 Welcome! I want to ask you, is BART treated like a subway or a commuter train in the Bay Area? The way it operates it sounds like a rapid transit, but the destinations and the payment method makes it seem like a commuter train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it operates it sounds like a rapid transit, but the destinations and the payment method makes it seem like a commuter train. Bay Area Rapid Transit It's like a suburban-city metro system, just like the DC Metro and Seoul Metro Line 1. Many rapid transit systems in the world have distance based fares such as Hong Kong, DC, your native Korea, Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKorean Posted June 7, 2010 Share #21 Posted June 7, 2010 True, but still, BART has very few stops in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M97GateAlpha Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share #22 Posted June 7, 2010 SF is a small city, there are 8 stops in SF, 4 in downtown, it does not go to fishermans warf, or out to Golden Gate park or anything like that, there are a ton of buses/MUNI that go all over the city. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M97GateAlpha Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share #24 Posted June 11, 2010 I walk all over SF n still take the cable cars at least once a month, I think they are like 5 bucks to ride but the guys let you ride for free if you are just going up a hill or something. I put up some cool videos of BART, I have a tiny tripod I put in the cab. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
