How mechanics keep 50-year-old BART trains running: Windows 98, eBay, and scraps
BART is pretty unreliable in part due to maintenance problems, but also due to system design.For example two days ago there was a horrific final-destination-esque crash in which a motorcyclist happened to be in front of the train.https://twitter.com/sfbart/status/1570997016347680768This crash caused the entire system to be disrupted for hours, even very far away from the crash. According to BART, "We don’t have extra tracks to maneuver around problems. That’s why our system comes to a halt from one incident."
