The project developed recommendations for an extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system to provide rapid transit access at San Francisco International Airport. Project background and the need for improved airport access are discussed. The report gives particular attention to the proposed route location which will follow the Market St. Railway corridor through Daly City and Colma. Relevant aspects of the route profile and proposed service are described. System planning aspects are examined with reference to operations, service schedules, rolling stock, train control and communications, power distribution, fare collection, support facilities, and baggage handling. Estimates of patronage and revenues are considered along with specific preliminary features for the stations and guideways. The report also contains detailed cost estimates, impact analyses, and an overall evaluation of the project in terms of urban development objectives. (Author)
