It's always sad to see an old friend go, but sometimes, change is for the better.

BART has officially decommissioned (aka retired) all its C2 legacy train cars in August. Versatile but problematic, the C2s were given some curt goodbyes by BART maintenance staff at Hayward Yard.
C2 train cars are the first ever legacy fleet car types retired in full by BART.

Despite being a 90s kid, C2s are the first out for a reason: C2s were the most problematic train cars with technical glitches leading to delays, cancelled trains or swelteringly hot cars.
Let's first spell out the ABC's of BART rolling stock:

- A car is the 1970s lead car with the slant nose
- B car is the middle car which pairs with A car
- C car (C1 and C2) is the 1990s car with the flat nose
- D and E cars are the Fleet of the Future

Today the first of 41 rebuilt escalators coming to all four Market Street stations in San Francisco opened for service.

Mark Dana manages the project team to replace these escalators. He spoke to us in our newest episode for our podcast, "Hidden Tracks". bart.gov/news/articles/… Mark Dana, the manager of the escalator project, spoke to BA
Dana is overseeing the replacement of escalators at Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell and Civic Center -- all in service for at least 40 years -- and replacing them with modern ones which can handle crowd loads, conserve energy when idle and be more visible with LED skirt lights. New escalator at Powell with LED skirt lights
Street level escalators will be replaced in conjunction with a street entrance canopy. Canopies protect the new escalators from natural elements and unwanted activity when stations are closed.

Canopies will also have real-time transit info above the gates as well. Exiting out of Powell Station. Entrance canopy protects the

Reading a book on the train is a tale-old tradition many BART riders partake in.

To encourage reading for those even without a book, BART is piloting touchless @ShortEdition_EN Short Story Dispensers, which print out short stories, at 4 BART stations.
The Short Story Dispensers print 1-, 3-, or 5-minute reads on recyclable receipt paper.

The dispensers are located inside paid areas at Montgomery (coming soon), Fruitvale, Richmond and Pleasant Hill — where we tried out and printed out Percy Shelley’s “Ozymandias”!
Unlike us, you can simply print out stories by hovering your finger over the button! No need to touch!

The one-year pilot is being sponsored by BART Communications and its Art Program, as installation begins on National Reading Month. @RIFWEB

Attention @Athletics fans! For Opening Day and future home games at the Oakland Coliseum, BART will be providing extra trains after BART closes service to take fans departing night games back home.

For full information, please visit bart.gov/news/articles/…
For Opening Day, April 1, BART will offer a one-time-only special service plan: One train per BART route will be standing by once the game ends (Berryessa, Dublin, Millbrae, Richmond-Antioch riders should board Richmond train and transfer to an Antioch train at MacArthur)
Reason for Opening Day's unique service plan is because @Athletics Opening Day game begins at 7:07 pm, later than future 2021 season home games at 6:40 pm.

For Opening Day: There will be no other trains that run between the last scheduled trains and the extra event trains.

Starting Tuesday, February 16, BART will offer a free ticket back home to those who have been vaccinated at the Oakland Coliseum vaccination site.

The site, which opens on Feb 16, is jointly led by @fema and @Cal_OES. BART is ready to support their efforts to vaccinate Bay Area.
Starting February 16, extra BART staff will be deployed to Coliseum Station to provide anyone who received a vaccine a free $7 BART ticket on-site after showing their vaccination card with a matching date.

$7 is enough fare to get back home to any BART station, except SFO.
We know it can be a long walk from Coliseum Station to the Coliseum.

BART staff is working to secure ensure riders with mobility challenges or disabilities will receive accommodations getting between Coliseum Station and the vaccination site for their vaccination.
