BART: Explained (Part 1)

Finally! I have been heavily looking forward to covering BART, arguably the most famous Bay Area transit agency of all time! This system was built from scratch as an alternative to commuters coming into the City by the Bay, and today we're covering the history of the system and its rolling stock. Note that this is just part one of this multi-chaptered series, so stay tuned! Music from Epidemic Sound.
