Unlike those of the majority of other cities with
heavy rail transit the transit agency that operates BART does not
also operate a substantial bus network. Instead BART interchanges with the local
systems provided by such agencies as Muni, AC Transit and SamTrans
at virtually all of its stations.
The one bus route that
is BART-operated connects the Coliseum/Oakland Airport station with
Oakland International Airport, several miles away. There are
no intermediate stops. It
costs $3.00 to ride, whether or not one uses the rail
route. This view is from inside a bus near that train station, and shows an outbound
run
traveling along the single-pier overhead structure.
A future
project will eliminate the bus, to be replaced by an elevated people-mover.
