Whoa!!! New display boards?!? :O I’m so glad I have footage of the old ones... :)

I think that they look a trillion times better than the old display signs.

Nice to see the new screens. I do like the old ones a lot though.

I like the New Display Signs I hope to see them installed at all Bart Stations

Those Bart Train videos that I watched were awesome! I can’t believe all the Legacy Trains retired but they were great! The eTrains light rail kinda low key! My favorite train is THE FLEET TO THE FUTURE!

Woah! New display boards :D

I absolutely adore the closing doors sequence on the new trains. - Hello from Belgium. 😀

The sound of the motors remind me of the Transperth B series trains here in Perth Australia

The new sign is amazing and new

I loved riding the BART.

I love the new fleet of the future. The inside has screens that display the map and the route you take, either it's yellow, red, orange, green, or blue.

Nice video! It is great to see another BART video! I think that the new signs are also good because it supports BART's recent emphasis for addressing the lines by there color, such as on the Fleet of the Future announcements. Also, are you going to do anything for the reopening of the N-Judah, M- Ocean View, or the F- Market? No pressure just wondering. :)

Thanks! Much agreed on the signs too, their new features are a welcome addition. I don't have any footage scheduled from those MUNI lines at the moment but it's definitely up there on the list of things to film, so stay tuned!

Nice Video! :) 👍❤️

I have never gotten off at Lake Merritt forever.

I just seen a Bart train being carried by a 18 wheeler in western New York and we don’t have them here curious why it was coming Thru a small town is there someone who works on them nearby or where the nearest ones are to me

The orange line is my favorite Bart line

Well it seems like they’ve already changed the screens so will be easier because before the old screens there were like glitching and it was impossible to see

I would absolutely love it if they would paint the strips in-between the cars to match the line they're driving on. I understand it wouldn't be feasible, but it would just be beautiful.

they often swap the cars around on different trains that go on different lines, so yeah it wouldnt work

Yeah, that's probably impractical due to the equipment rotation. But the new trains have digital destination signs with the name and the color of the line on them.

24th Street & Mission in SF also has these same signs.

1:00 - “The doors are closing. Please stand clear of the doors.” - Fleet of the Future

Recently I've been seeing a lot of the legacy trains being replaced by the new ones. I went to the Civic Center today and only saw one legacy train, the rest were the fleet of the future.

@@manuelalvarado6510 yup, unfortunately i did not know that despite bombardier being defunct for a year back then

I still prefer to refer to the destinations instead of color since I don't have to ask which direction the train is headed.

I know that the old timers like these, but I have an incredibly hard time explaining this system to anyone who's visiting. In short, there's a reason why almost all other systems use colors instead of termini to differentiate the lines. Also, BART keeps adding stations so if you're away from the system for a long time you're faced with a bunch of new destinations that don't ring a bell at all. I took a break from BART for a few years and all of my trains changed termini. I almost missed a train because of that 😁

Those are going away too. The entire electronics system is getting replaced from the train announcements to the literal wiring for train traction power. BART is actually changing a lot of things right now. It's not a surface-level remodel. Basically, the whole system is switching to the type of equipment they installed on the new South Bay Stations.

I dont like them TBH. #keepbartretro

Nah, thanks. BART is waaaaaaaaaay overdue for un upgrade. The old wiring is falling apart and they are simulating some parts of the old system with Arduinos to keep this show on the road. At some point the riders needs have to be prioritized if we want anyone to ride the system. BART is not a museum. It has a job to do!

I like the new models (even if I hadn’t rode them) I like the satisfying *BRRRUDUM* of all the doors closing at once, but things like the display should’ve stayed. I like how it tells you in bright red letters where the train is exactly going and such

Same here. My eyesight is a little below average and I cannot see the new signs very well. (I always wear a new glasses prescription but my eyesight isn't totally fixable) The old signs were great -- I could even read them from the street as I was pulling up in the bus. Now it's hard to read the signs from the platform. I feel bad for the many riders with worse vision impairment than me.

I have never gotten off at Lake Merritt forever.
