Good aesthetics, and overall more seats per train since there will be a greater quantity of cars. Although I will miss the solo transverse seats. I have not been on one of these, but I think I will prefer them to the WMATA 7000 series, namely with the announcements
It's been a year since I've been to S.F. Those old trains are noisy. They sound like someone killing a thousand cats. From your video, these are quieter. My ears will thank me when I get to board one.
I dont think the sound is the train. Its the tracks because I rode on both old and new. I even train spotted near Union City station and I saw the fleet of the future leaving and it made that same loud howling sound like the old one so the tracks, which are withering and old need to be changed.
I really hate the BART's seating arrangement. Inconvenient to get in and out of some of the seats without asking to be excused. Easy in n out like Hong Kong, Tokyo, NYC, Singapore
Well one: All trains including the old fleet, Stops and starts back up by themselves at stops. Also all the original stations where designed by collage students so idk It’s basically whatever they where thinking I guess...
Well, to be fair, that particular train had to cross about a hundred switches between the two stations he happened to film. Every line of BART crosses a major junction in that area, and they all need to slow down at that point. That may be part of what you're seeing in this video.
"what is this the 70s?" "idiots didn't build the cars with a RFW" Make up your mind. The RFW is a very old feature on older trains when employees used to use half-width cabs, and trust me they were a pain to use. The new full-width cabs actually look better and are more convenient for employees to cross and use both the left and right cars of the train. Maybe take into account the employees who are actually using the cabs then just a window that your opinion thinks should stay.
I like the voice much slower that the older train voice
The trains now have additional announcements, which include the line and destination.
This is better than the train I was on today
Miss the Bart When I Lived in S.F ' I Don't Miss The Homeless or Junkies who Sleep at Civic Center/ Powell St- Ect

Nice
Why does BART have station lighting over the tracks? That's unusual, I've never seen lighting over the track bed at stations.
Yancey Zimmerman too slow down or stop or go .

“Richmond Train” in-car announcement is not the automated train voice... why not?
cuz Bart doesn't care
It's better then a r179
Nice, but why choose the color scheme of the Seattle Seahawks?
That's a good question. You can ask BART about it.
Hmm looks like the train was in manual control this time
Siri,is that you?
The voice on this train is Acapela Sharon.
Trains Are Better Now ' But The Homeless Are still There ' With the Junkies in S.F

THAT TRAIN IS SO SLOW

4hey run at the eveing
Who picked that color scheme for the interior? what is this the 70s? idiots didn't build the cars with a RFW. How pathetic.
Uhh, these are actually better for looking out the front since there are windows all the way across.
