BART and Metro both started out by ignoring 60 years and more of subway experience. Some of this was a suburbanite disdain for the noisy and dirty New York system where more people used 2 midtown stations than either BART or Metro would achieve system wide in 25 years.Neither ignored 60 years of more of subway experience because neither are subways as defined by past practices. Both are hybrids, a combination of subway and commuter rail. The average distance between stations is greater then the average distance between stations in the system built in the first half of the last century.
