The Next 40 Years: BART's Plan to Keep the Bay Area Moving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kEFjMxM4cU

BART must shut down for a few hours every night for mandated inspections and critical maintenance work but there's no replacement for actually seeing what happens during the race till dawn.

BART has the oldest fleet in the nation. It needs state and federal support to keep one of the Bay Area's most important public transportation systems in a state of good repair.

BART looks to replace its aging fleet of rail cars with the fleet of the future.
