The Bay Area Rapid Transit is a heavy rail public rapid transit system that serves the Bay Area in northern California. It was launched in the 1970s. The train is notable for a segment where it runs under the water in the San Francisco Bay. There are currently four lines.
Fares
People buy tickets inside the station. They insert the ticket into the gate, enter the train area, and take the ticket out. After they have boarded and exited the train, they do the same thing to exit the station. The ticket shows how much money is left on the card. If a person enters and exits the same station he or she will be charged $3.85.
Expansions
In the 2000s, it was expanded to reach San Francisco Airport. Projects are also going on right now to expand the line into Oakland Airport as well. Projects are also happening to expand the system past the Dublin/Pleasanton station and Pittsburg Bay-Point stations.
