Hey. I just heard from BART board member Robert Raburn on facebook that by popular demand, Conifguration B has been chosen. He gave me some advice as to imagine you know an open space around the middle door sort of like a bus and with the traditional forward seating at the ends. I relalize now as to why it might be a good conifiguration. Now it all comes down to the exterior. What do you all think though? Please chime in with your comments.

I really propose and order for the BART board to choose concept C for the new cars because it provides more seating than the current cars. However, I think that the seats could be reconfigured at the ends of the cars to provide more space for people with luggage, strollers, wheelchairs, and bikes. In other words make the ends of the cars have sideway seats instead and the middle have the traditional forward seating. Plus two windows in between the doors. I feel the recently updated concept does not have enough seating especially for those that travel long distances.

What do you all think of the new possible updated seating for the new cars? I really don't think that it's enough seating. Let me know what you all think and what improvements can be made. I really think they should consider going for concept C.
