Pillars, a stairway and escalators provide
angular lines in this view at Millbrae Transportation Terminal.
A BART train is at the station, windows wide, awaiting departure for downtown San Francisco and the East
Bay.
When this extension opened in 2003 there was initially direct
service between Millbrae and downtown during peak times.
Traffic demand did not meet initial projections, and all trains
began taking the less direct route that included a stop at San Francisco
International Airport, and then some backtracking. In 2008
that ceased, and trains began running directly again. |
