Say goodbye to the original BART car.
BART is switching almost exclusively to newer and shorter trains next month, transit agency officials said in a board of directors meeting on Thursday.
The Fleet of the Future cars were introduced in 2018, a modernized update from their"Legacy Fleet" cars, which have been in service since BART began operating in 1972. The two trains have been running in conjunction with each other in recent years, though BART has slowly been phasing out the legacy cars.
The agency claims the tightened trains will save them $12 million in operating costs as it continues to seek relief from severe financial woes following the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the agency, the safest car is usually the first car of a train, which is where the conductor is stationed. But some people don't ride in that car because they don't want to wait for trains at the far end of the platform, which generally has less people around. With shorter train lengths, riders can wait for the first train closer to the center of the platforms.
