New BART Layout, what do you think??

Submitted by MDiCan on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 12:38pm

BART faces a challenging problem in its next fleet of cars, it is first and foremost a long distance commuter train, but is seeing rush hour capacities similar to that of inner city public transportation. So, how can BART continue to please the long term commuters, who are their main source of income, and also design for increasing passenger loads?

Some of the proposed design changes include:

_ adding a third door for increased passenger flow
_ providing more standing room by sacrificing some seating
_ adding unobtrusive bike storage
