So IMHO these cars correct BART's early fantasies of suburban comfort (cushy but toxic when burning seats, carpet, a promise of seats for all) and insufficient doors. There is talk of spending most of $1billion to have new wall platforms built @ Montgomery and Embarcadero so trains can offload faster. Having 3 doors will make that unnecessary.I don't like plug doors, but the BART folks claim greater noise dampening. As to the insides, I am not thrilled by the bike storage, but bike usage out here is very high. |
