BART and METRO?

Alright, so I thought I'd post a comparison video of a BART trainset departing one of its stations and a METRO trainset departing one of our stations. Note that METRO is slower than BART. BART runs either underground or above ground while METRO runs in the middle of the street.

First up, a video I took of BART departing the Montgomery St Station in downtown San Francisco on 25 July 2007:


Compare this against METRO, departing the Central/Encanto Station on 20 November 2008:


Remember that METRO's still in testing phase. It opens up in 29 days, and it will travel posted speed limits. It's also designed to be at a stoplight when the light is green for automobile traffic, so it's exceptionally efficient.
