Lessons from Switzerland could improve your ride on Bay Area transit

The accuracy of Swiss timing is well known across the globe. But it’s the precision, coordination, and prioritization of their transit system that has the potential to benefit riders here in the Bay Area. On the latest edition of our podcast series, “Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART.” Chris Filippi, speaks with BART Manager of Strategic and Policy Planning Hannah Lindelof, who was recently part of a study group that visited Switzerland. The trip allowed Lindelof to observe their integrated transit system in action. She’s now back and shares lessons learned about how the Bay Area can put the rider first and make public transit the most appealing option for more people.

What BART's biggest rebuilding project means for your ride

When it comes to rebuilding the backbone of BART, the upcoming track work in the heart of Oakland is the main event. Welcome to “Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART.” Years of planning have gone into the track replacement work that’s going to be happening on select weekends over the next three years in the core of the BART system. Organizers are calling this the most challenging and complex segment of BART’s revitalization plan that started in 2016, when District voters approved Measure RR. The measure provides $3.5 billion to replace aging track, traction power cables, and other vital equipment. This time on Hidden Tracks BART Project Manager Kevin Reeg talks about the challenges of this work and what will be accomplished and BART Operations Planner Hayley Toy shares more about how to navigate BART during all this work and the many efforts we’ve taken to reduce the impacts on riders from these shutdowns.

Learn what BART’s new, reimagined schedule means for your ride

On September 11, BART will roll out a reimagined service plan that will eliminate 30-minute wait times on nights and weekends. That means no BART rider will have to wait more than 20 minutes for a scheduled train no matter the hour or day of the week. This new schedule is responsive to post-pandemic commute patterns and opens new opportunities for BART to expand its ridership. To do a deep dive into the new schedule Jay Sathe sat down with BART’s Manager of Scheduling and Planning John FitzGibbon on the latest edition of our podcast series, "Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART".

Exploring the potential of Mobility as a Service to transform your commute

Mobility as a Service or MaaS is one of the hottest topics in public transportation. While the subject may be new for some, there's little question it impacts you every time you get on a BART train and its reach has potential to go even beyond that. Chris Filippi is your host for this episode of "Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART" and he's joined by BART's Director of Technology, Angie West, and Tim Moore, BART's Manager of Web Services. Both are here to talk about MaaS and its far-reaching impacts. Read the transcript: https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2023/news20230426

I love BART, and this podcast really helps me learn more about it. The podcast about maps is helpful because I like learning about them. It’s very cool!

A stupid podcast in which overpaid incompetents brag about innovations that public transportation providers in other countries discovered decades ago, such as clockface scheduling. (Incidentally, the episode about the new 2023 schedule is full of lies. At night and on weekends, you will still wait 30 minutes between trains in most parts of the system.) The worst part is that the participants don't realize how dumb they appear, when we compare the results of their efforts to results seen in other countries -- even in neighboring Canada, where the politics, the funding, and modal share (the percentage of trips on public transit versus in private cars) are as bad as in the United States. This show is nothing but public relations stunt, and it's a weak one, at that.

Please turn up the volume with the podcast. I can’t hear the podcast at the maximum volume from my AirPods because the trains are too loud. Thank you.
Fun & informative podcast
