Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Oct 18 02:16:34 2014, in response to Re: BART's new car: Bombardier mock up at APTA, posted by r17-6599 on Fri Oct 17 19:30:44 2014. Except that the original cars required going OOS, into a yard, cutting off an "A" cab car adding "Bs" and then returning the A to the end position. Compare this to the recent description in another thread of adding cars on the 7 in many fewer moves. The "Buck Rogers" look with the carpets, no handholds (as delivered), were NOT tried and true but an attempt to throw out most of the transit industry experience of the 20th century. Frankly BART only got a very few things right--third rail power, level boarding and AC. |
