Bart is off and running. The two breakdowns hardly interfered with service this morning, replacement trains were brought in almost immediately and schedules were back to normal in less than a half hour. The greatest inconvenience to any passenger was less than 10 minutes and the officials of

00:00:13.770 - 00:00:26.260

Bart quite candidly say the trouble this morning came as no surprise they expect to have problems, but what they don't expect is for them to be very serious. In the meantime the crowds continue to flock to the Bart stations in the East Bay for the 28

00:00:26.260 - 00:00:39.270

mile run between Fremont and the Lake Merritt station in Oakland. What was different today is that this was the first day of real service for the commuter. The person who could use Bart to go to work this morning. We've got about 5000 people coming through the

00:00:39.270 - 00:00:53.240

Oakland area up till noon. Now that's the count we have at this point. What does this indicate to you as two people going to work? Well, this is a pretty good indication that we're getting a good commuter ride at least between the hours of six and

00:00:53.240 - 00:01:11.380

nine o'clock after that time. I think we're getting more excursion rides. What was the number count between six and nine? Well we had 1600 around 8 45. And you would guess that these would be pretty well people going to work. That's correct. I don't think we're

00:01:11.380 - 00:01:25.390

getting anybody out there at that time in the morning to write excursion rides or take excursion rides. Had a little trouble today, haven't you? Well we did pull two trains off the line earlier this morning. We had trouble with the door on one of them and

00:01:25.390 - 00:01:37.510

the other one. I still haven't gotten a reading on what happened with that one. But I think the important thing is that we recovered very quickly. We have trains ready to go in an instant and we put them back on the line right away and there's

00:01:37.510 - 00:02:41.140

no slack. How late will service run tonight? The service will run until 8:00 tonight. Okay. I think the surprise. Okay, good afternoon guard. We're off and running. What time? Wow. I don't think anyone down. 20 seconds. Mm hmm. Mhm, mm hmm. Yes. Mhm. Yes. Yeah,

00:02:41.540 - 00:02:41.960

wow.
