OSTI ID:7359362
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) System is the first areawide rail rapid transit system to be built in the United States in 50 years. This system includes 71 miles of track, 34 stations, and such technological advancements as a regenerative braking system plus light, all aluminum cars designed for high acceleration and maximum speeds of 80 miles per hour. This study investigates the historical energy consumption of the BART System, estimates BART's energy consumption for ultimate design service levels (approximately twice the present level), and compares BART's energy consumption to that of other rail rapid transit systems and alternate modes.
