BART'S IMPACT ON THE BAY AREA IS BEING STUDIED IN DEPTH

Bay Area Rapid Transit has a new group of officers and the organization has been simplified. Equipment reliability and availability remain serious problems. While some of the equipment problems have been resolved or controlled, new ones have taken their place, preventing any real improvement in equipment availability. Traction motor flashovers and braking problems are receiving most attention. Changes in operating concepts are also to be implemented.
