SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BART EXTENSION APPROVED
The BART Board of Directors approved $2.5 million for BART extension project "eBART" construction to begin, and expected to open sometime in 2018 for full operational services. The eBART extension project will run a railway line approximately 10 miles from Pittsburg to Antioch, and trains will be different from regular BART trains with a different style. The eBART fleet will have smaller train cars running on environmental clean diesel and not electrical, and people can use the same type of boarding tickets with regular BART to ride eBART trains.
