⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ BART: Final Journey on the Legacy Fleet from MacArthur to Fremont
On April 20, 2024, BART ran its last legacy fleet trains. The cars, originally built by Rohr Industries, first went into service on September 11, 1972, the opening day for the BART system.
Since the 1970s, the legacy fleet has travelled tens of millions of miles and carrried hundreds of millions of passengers. They were the oldest still-operating rapid transit fleet in the nation before their retirement.
To celebrate the legacy fleet, BART scheduled three final runs on Saturday, April 20, 2024. The first train was a VIP set that ran nonstop from MacArthur to Bay Fair, while the other two stopped at all stops from MacArthur to Fremont.
The MacArthur-Fremont section was the original segment of track opened by BART in 1972, which made the route the obvious choice for such a train retirement ceremony.
This video showcases the full journey made by the second train from MacArthur to Fremont. The journey certainly was an historic affair, and we're so grateful to have been able to document it.
The Fleet of the Future survives the legacy fleet as its replacement, with 775 cars now traversing the BART system for decades to come. The final run was an emotional affair, attended by thousands looking to ride the iconic space-age trains one last time.
To watch our video of the very last legacy fleet train arriving and departing from Fremont Station, click here: ua-cam.com/video/3djgDHbirkY/v-deo.html
Long live the legacy fleet!

    I remember riding BART for travelling around San Francisco. I rode it right after coming back from Japan, so a good transit experience was fresh in my mind. It was very interesting to compare the two. - Japanese trains were much cheaper - Japanese trains had much better connections for everyday travel and not just commuting - Japanese trains were much more punctual and frequent, which contributed significantly to a less frustrating experience with missing connections and being late - BART runs very fast - BART's incoporation with my phone wallet and overall software technology was decades ahead of Japan (my digital card didn't work properly half the time, they ran out of IC cards, and I had to resort to paper tickets) - BART is much better incorporated with other transit options in its area and had simpler wayfinding, even when considering the size difference of their transit networks - BART was so fricking loud in the tunnels

    Always a fan and supporter of PT. The scenes that you see, and the experiences you carry from every trip were thrilling whether they were by the city buses to college, train trips to mother's place, or long distance bus trips for projects/ training at work in India, to taking Amtrak to Sacramento 25 years ago with spouse, to solo trip on BART from Dublin to SFO away from my 3- month old for a few hours, from SFO International to home, and to the latest, Milpitas to Lake Merritt with the now grown up child, I enjoyed it every time. Best wishes to Bay Area Rapid Transit.
