If built today, all of the steel for the transbay tube and lining subway tunnels would have been made in China, rather than sourced locally (Kaiser Steel in Napa for tunnel, Bethlehem Steel for the tube in SF, both long gone).
As a kid, we used to sail on the bay. I remember seeing the placement of tunnel sections while sailing. As a young teen, I rode the train the first day it was open. Musta been about 1973. It was a taste of the future.
The way the announcer says "You'r BART Train" reminds me of the old Henny Youngman commercial.
Awesome

@@lenojames In all fairness, we used accept a lot less nastiness even just a decade ago. People would complain to BART constantly and BART was forced to deal with it. Gradually, everyone just stopped caring and now we just let insane behavior slide. And no one is pressuring BART to do anything about it! No one is protesting at the BART board meetings. No one is organizing to shame BART into restoring the system to its normal self. BART is all too happy to not have to bother to offer a reasonable riding experience. The main problem is that they know that they have a core group of poorer riders who have no choice but to continue riding even if things get crazy. They have no alternative so they'll have to continue to ride the trains even if it gets worse. So BART will just continue abusing that core group of riders until the system is dismantled or some major scandal makes them deal with the security and cleanliness situation. I really wish we could all come together to force BART to become normal again! Even just returning it to the way it was 10 years ago would be 100x better than what we have today!
Columbus Day. COVID 19…
Little did they know that in 50 years it would be a mobile homeless shelter where bums crap in the space between the cars.
