BART ELIMINATES THE BUGS--AND TRAFFIC FIGURES CLIMB

Since last September, when the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system opened the first 44 km of its projected 113-km, the eyes of United States' city authorities have been firmly fixed on its progress. If BART succeeds, other new subways could sweep in on its coat tails. If it fails the cause of US transit could be set back drastically. Passenger results to date have compared well with pre-service forecasts. By the end of last year about 95% of BART's projected patronage for the 1972-73 year had been achieved.
