minus-squareRubberElectrons@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-219 days agoI’ve been enjoying Bart, it’s kinda noisy compared to the NYCT system I grew up with, but super steady. Turns out they use a wider gage on the tracks than any other system, which is good for speed/stability… but also expensive af. I’ll have to try Caltrain next.
