FIRST BART - NOW MUNI METRO

San Francisco is transforming its conventional streetcar operation, the Municipal Railway, into a light rail transit system in conjunction with a new center city access through the tunnels built for Bay Area Rapid Transit. The goal is a transit service comparable with the most modern tramways in western Europe. Changes and improvements include new cars, extended routes and upgraded service facilities.
