Definition: BART or Bay Area Rapid Transit is a public rapid-transit system that plays a major part in transportation for locals and visitors alike. Linking together various parts of the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, and Walnut Creek, BART helps passengers simplify their travel with its point-by-point stations.
It carried its first passengers on September 11, 1972. On August 10, 1973, the first train traveled through the Transbay Tube, an underwater tunnel in the San Francisco Bay which links San Francisco and Oakland. It is the longest such tube for rapid transit in the world.
In total, there are 43 BART stations. Of these 43, 15 are surface stations, 13 are elevated, and 15 are subway style. A BART ticket is used like a debit card.
