The initial system opened in stages from 1972 to 1974. With an average of 145,700 weekday passengers as of the third quarter of 2022 and 26,026,800 annual passengers in 2021, BART is the fifth-busiest heavy rail rapid transit system in the United States.īART is operated by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District which formed in 1957. BART serves 50 stations along six routes and 131 miles (211 kilometers) of track, including a 9-mile (14 km) spur line running to Antioch, which uses diesel multiple-unit vehicles, and a 3-mile (4.8 km) automated guideway transit line serving the Oakland International Airport. To read more about this much welcomed feature, head over to BART’s blog or Inside Bay Area.Bay Area Rapid Transit ( BART) is a rapid transit system serving the San Francisco Bay Area in California. “Although the data is not real time, the historic data we’re using is generally predictive, and customers will be able to see which trips are less crowded than others.” According to Timothy Moore, BART’s website manager, However, BART’s web team worked closely with BART’s scheduling department to coordinate the new feature to make sure the feature is as accurate as possible. It should be noted that the crowding level estimates are not real time but based on historic data patterns so it’s still best to use your best judgement when boarding BART with a bike. The crowding level feature is also intended to provide guidance to bicyclists since even outside commute period blackouts bicyclists are instructed to only board cars that “can comfortably accommodate you and your bicycle,” as outlined in BART’s bike rules.
Note the icon with three heads indicating a crowded train. In response to record levels of ridership, BART has unveiled a new feature to its online trip planning – information on the estimated levels of crowding on a train. Now when you use the BART QuickPlanner (also accessible in mobile form) it will show an icon with three heads, two heads or one head indicating “heavy crowding expected,” “moderate crowding expected,” or “light crowding expected,” respectively.
