Cheryl Stalter attempted to record a BART ride in 2009 using a GoPro, but lost the camera early in the journey. Security concerns halted similar filming efforts despite employee advocacy for years. In July 2023, Vincent Woo's 'Tunnel Vision: An Unauthorized BART Ride' became a hit, showing a train journey with hidden cameras and garnering 300,000 views. BART leadership then approved an official film with Stalter and her colleagues, highlighting the public's demand to see such recordings.
Stalter's initial attempt to capture a train ride included a single GoPro, but it was lost shortly after the journey began. Her creative vision lay dormant for 16 years due to security concerns.
In July 2023, Vincent Woo released 'Tunnel Vision: An Unauthorized BART Ride,' which showcased a timelapse of a BART journey and garnered over 300,000 views on YouTube.
BART employees, inspired by Woo's video, advocated for official filming, concluding that if they did not provide the content, others would. This eventually led to the green light for an official version.
The enthusiasm for BART's train journeys was evident in the sold-out premiere of Woo's film at the Roxie Theater, reflecting a strong public interest in seeing these rides recorded.
