The Bay Area's retired BART car fleet is being repurposed following the transition to a newer fleet. Nostalgia surrounds these older models, as people like UC Berkeley graduate Michael Lin transform them into innovative homes and recreational spaces. Lin is converting his gifted BART car into a rental home, the Sierra Train House, outside Yosemite, complete with green energy features like a solar panel roof. Other decommissioned cars will serve various community purposes, including retro arcades and transit museum exhibits, keeping the memory of BART alive.
The BART legacy fleet is being repurposed creatively, with cars transforming into unique locations such as vacation rentals and entertainment spaces, preserving their nostalgic value.
Michael Lin's conversion of a retired BART car into a second home highlights a creative effort to preserve the legacy of these transit vehicles for future generations.
