BART shifting departure times in billion-dollar plan, working with agencies to improve efficiency
Briefly

"It's a great example of the many different transit agencies working as one so that way we can increase ridership and hopefully prove that we should get more funding so that way we can make even more improvements," Alicia Trost, a spokesperson for BART said.
"The existing train control equipment currently causes about 10% of delays system-wide," Scott Burke, a project manager said in a BART YouTube video.
"Now what's going to happen is the trains will actually run closer together and communicate with each other the entire time," Trost said. "So what that means is we can run trains closer together, which means you'll get to where you want to go faster."
"We're going to go segment by segment, the good news for most of our riders is that this work takes place overnight," Trost said.
