- Wilson Walker looks back on BART's approaching 46th anniversary and how the sometimes problematic system has become indispensable (9-9-2018)
Now let's get that second Transbay tube. Can't tell you how many times "medical emergencies" and "police activity" has stopped my train in the tube and train traffic backs up making us crawl at a snails pace.
Tii The Gemini they’re working on it. It’s in the design process.
And San Jose pulling out was the biggest mistake that city ever made
San Jose getting it in 2030
It opened, last June
@@HotShotDesigns3D But the Downtown section won't open till 2030.
Rest assured, people will be saying the exact same thing about how indispensable high speed rail is 46 years after it starts running trains, and the hyperloop will be a long forgotten pipe dream. The only difference is that the authority isn't trying to reinvent the wheel the way that BART engineers did. That's what the hyperloop engineers are trying to do, but they will ultimately fail.
My grandfather worked for Rohr industries from the late 50s to the 90s in San Diego. When Rohr was contracted to make rolling stock for the BART, he worked the presses to help make the train cars in time for the ‘72 opening. I’m addition, each member got a lifetime pass for usage on the BART. After working on the DC Metro cars as well, he suffered an aneurism in 1992, thus forcing his retirement. He sadly passed away in January 2021, four days after his 85th birthday.
We all need to thank KPIX for saving all these 16mm film reports all these years. Little did they know that film would be the HDTV source to look back at history like this. I don't think the other Bay Area TV stations have saved their filmed reports (or I should say saved their original 16mm film).
I remember seeing a crazy person ride on TOP of the BART as it left the Embarcadero station.
TheVideoGameManiac You mean today right?!
@@pgaven9396 No, it was a couple of months ago.
My brother and I went to Pier 39 to play Pokemon GO that day.
& What About the about the Crazy Ass Hole who Rode on the Bike Rack of the Muni Bus, The Crazy People of San Francisco!
@@TheVideoGameManiac Is pier 39 a good spot for Pokemon go?
@@carspov Easily. Can't think of a better place.
*This is the best TV History I've ever seen!!*
After that Fruitvale incident - Bart Police stopped caring anymore - crimes riddled BART stations.
It would have been better if they used a off the shelf system like what New York and Chicago already had, it would of been allot cheaper.
What’s a shelf system?
@@walterwhite1 off-the-shelf: available as a stock item : not specially designed or custom-made
I Used Love Bart When I Visited & Then Lived in S.F ' We Should of Had These Trains in the Nyc Area "
Really.
@@IGtyi39AL78F56 The Bart Jumped The Tracks In the Trans Bay Tube During the Earthquake '
Back when bayfair was beautiful what time to be alive
So Joe Alioto was San Francisco's mayor in 1974. BART has now reached Antioch, Dublin/Pleasanton & Fremont's Warm Springs neighborhood. Is former KCBS reporter Chris Filippi still working at BART?
Now bart, runs to Berryessa (aka noth san jose). In the upcoming years we will see the bart extend to Santa clara. I am glad Bart is still expanding in the bay area.
Keep in mind that more than 30 years before BART, the East Bay had the legendary Key system, which provided direct access across the Bay Bridge to the transbay terminal, not to mention countless streetcar lines within the East Bay itself. We tore out an excellent transit network for more traffic lanes on the Bay Bridge. The Transbay Tube was needed, as it's far higher capacity than the Key System, but it's worth noting that it's hardly the first transbay rail crossing.
I remember riding BART through Oakland West and seeing a sign saying Big White’s Liquors. Is it still there?
I'm old....I remember that stuff...BART needs help. My Father sold excavators and heavy equipment from Pettibone and Catipilliar to help make this happen. A miracle every mile....yep. 1974 OMG 😨 WOW....50 YEARS OLD....AND IM 55
Different between bay area rapid transit in 1972 and Dallas area rapid transit in 1983 11 year differentance. Dart in Dallas and Bart in San Francisco. Very simple.
Dallas has the green building SF has Salesforce
Hahaha. I was in high school in Concord and we used to get those excursion passes. You could ride all day but not exit except where you started. Hey, it was something to do.
On 1:19 how did the Bart train crash 🤯
Bart is the best
Ya i bet the fare went from like 60 cents in 1972 to $9 today.
BART should use CHINA Social Credit system to fight Fare evaders .
No
And I thought Septa was bad.
Now Bart is a monopolistic mechanism of our pockets lol.
BART is the only thing keeping traffic in check. You know that BART carries literally five times more people than the Bay Bridge and that they are in the process of increasing capacity by 30%. That's going to be 6-7 times more people on the train than on the bridge!
Even now when the pandemic reduced BART ridership, BART still carries more people than the bridge! And the bridge is packed while BART is at a small fraction of what it normally is!
Too Tooot!
Not one damn cellphone, excellent
I prefer using an iPod and still talk to people in owrson just remove one earbud life without a smartphone was superb a gameboy is better we play and trade with pokemon back then now cellphones makes life boring
Why charging us Milage for a Fare like that thing runs on electricity on a 3rd rail not diesel
Because people don't want to pay enough taxes to fund a flat rate. Therefore, BART needs to charge at least close to full cost to support the system. Flat rates like in other subway systems are easy to implement at BART the only problem is that people don't want to pay taxes! They want everything to be free.
UNCLE 40 WATER B.C
It's due for a revamping., The tracks are getting misaligned and the reliance on the trains itself is outdated worn down noisy and and a major accident is in the horizon looming..
That’s was a lie. Cleveland opened in 1955
Celebrating 70 Years of Corruption. Congratulations.
exactly
Who, KPIX CBS?
Why have you cropped 1972 report to 16:9? Awful. Dislike.
THE NEW TRAINS ARE SOOOOOO UGLY
I really disliked the uppidiness, clasdistness, and callousness of comparing white middle to upper class riders with houseless folks nowadays as if to falsely say that the former are somehow better as people than the latter
The fare is crazy price of a Diesel Metrolink in LA
