I just stumbled upon this system map concept, which is the original system. WHY haven't they done this? :(

What do you guys think of the map?

Bro idk, but they need BART in Marin, because if for some reason I can't drive or get a ride to a Giants or Warriors game, I have to take the ferry and then BART. I've taken it only a few times though.

I live really close to one of the BART stations, that I could walk to it. (I'd rather not though, the location scares the crap out of me) If I have a field trip to San Francisco, my school usually takes BART but I really hate having to go through the underwater tunnels. I swear to god that things going to explode some day, and I'd rather not be in it when it does. -__-

I wonder if they didn't have enough to build all of these stops....

I took it I think. Is it just the regular susses and stuff? Or is it some special thing. We stayed in Presidio.

It's just another fancy name for the subway. :)

The BART system currently doesn't serve Presidio.
Here is the current map:

And on a further note, They better get their butts over here to Palo Alto. CalTrain sucks dick :yes:

Totally with you on that. Apparently Marin county didnt want bart, thats why they don't have it.

Would that be Fruitvale BART? :P
My closest one is Millbrae, it's a pretty nice station.
I've been in the Transbay tube. When it started going fast I was bein' a dick to my friend saying "What if the rest of them were to rerail or something?" (My family was in a different car). She clinged onto me for the rest of the ride :P

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?!?! I've never actually been to the Milbrae station, but a couple of my friends have, and they say its cool. The nicest one I've been to is probably Powell, lol. and that's horrible! (but funny :) )

Omgomgomg, I <3 Powell. It's just so cool looking!
And yes, Fruitvale station is verry sketch at night. RIP Oscar Grant
Also, just spreading my nerdiness :P, if you want to go to Millbrae (it's a really nice city actually), take the Richmond [Red] line on Mon-Fri before 7 PM, or Pittsburg/Bay Point [Yellow] line on the Weekends/after 7 :)

Powell is actually my favorite station. I think it probably has something to do with the fact that Powell is near all the shops :)

And that was really sad what happened to Oscar Grant. I was standing with one of my friends right where he was shot at Fruitvale, waiting for the train, and you know what we saw? A hole just a little bit hidden by the garbage can, but it was there. We think it was made by the bullet that was shot at him. :/

And that's good to know, I'll keep that in mind. :)

Ive only used the Embarcadero station I believe a few times. I haven't taken it in awhile.
And yea, here in Marin we don't really need BART too much, but it would be useful.
They are planning in the future though to run a train from San Rafael to Sonoma using most of the existing tracks, albeit some sections are in need of repair.
Do you guys have Clipper cards as well? :D

When I take the BART, it depends on where I'm going haha. I always start off in millbrae, then usually go to Glen Park, Powell, or Embarcadero. If I go to Glen Park, I take the Muni to the Zoo with the rest of my family. Powell, to Starbucks. Embarcadero, I usually take the Muni F Market to this resturaunt I really like haha.
No, I don't have a clipper card. But I want one! :(

They are also planning on building the Fremont line down to San Jose, but they just for some reason can't get the rest of Santa Clara county covered :\

I feel so lost..lol. And I don't have a Clipper Card, I don't really see the need for one.

Speaking of BART, I just heard a train pass by. :)
