After decades of planning and years of delays, Phase 1 of BART’s Silicon Valley extension is finally here. Take a 10-mile journey with us on the first day of service, and on the first-ever southbound in-service train, from Warm Springs/South Fremont to the brand-new Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations.

Ever since BART’s inception, plans included service within San Jose’s city limits. This was indefinitely put on hold, however, when Santa Clara County pulled out of negotiations in 1957 in favor of building abominable expressways.
In the late 90s, San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales and East Bay officials met for preliminary discussions about the prospect of extending BART to San Jose. In 2000, VTA’s proposed sales tax for funding construction costs passed with 71 percent support. The line was to be built to Santa Clara, with stops at Diridon, Downtown San Jose, 28th St/Little Portugal, Berryessa, Milpitas, and Warm Springs/South Fremont.
Construction didn’t begin for another 12 years, at which point the extension had to be split into two phases due to the 2009 recession and subsequent budgetary shortfalls. The first phase was to be built to Berryessa, with one intermediate stop at Milpitas.
Originally slated to open in 2016, the extension experienced a series of setbacks that pushed the opening date back by four years. A likely partial culprit was the fact that the extension was built by one agency (VTA) and operates under another (BART), which caused no small amount of headaches during the construction period.
Nevertheless, construction and testing have been completed, and after decades of ambivalence and uncertainty, residents of Santa Clara County are able to board BART trains in their county for the first time.
The journey from Warm Springs to Milpitas takes about nine minutes, and an additional five minutes to Berryessa. The extension brings BART’s total station count to 50, and its total track mileage to 131.
In the year 2030, we may see the Orange and Green lines extended once again, this time further south as part of Phase 2 of the Silicon Valley extension to Santa Clara. The opening of Milpitas and Berryessa will likely remain the most recent expansion of the system for at least another decade.

Wow! This brings back memories! I remember riding BART in the 70's from Fremont (or Union City) to Powell Street. I'd sit in the front car and watch the driver operate it. Riding through the Transbay Tube. I wanted to be a BART driver so bad! Never happened. :( One thing I was impressed about BART was that they did not tolerate graffiti. If one of the cars got tagged, it was pulled out of service to be cleaned. Do they still do that?

A suggestion: please stop using double-naming in station names (i.e., those with a "/" in the middle). They are very confusing and hard to remember. I understand where BART is coming from: you are trying to match the name to the geography. But that's actually NOT how it works in train systems around the world. What you do, instead, is _sort-of-match_ the names but keep things _reasonable_ otherwise. So don't feel obliged to list all the cities and communities surrounding a station. Instead, just pick one and stick to it. It doesn't even have to be the largest (city sizes change in time anyway). For example, use: Warm Springs. That's it. Bay Point. That's it. Dublin. That's it. The reason for it is that people actually don't care whether the name matches anything real, what's important is simply a _label_ which exhibits _clarity,_ _constancy_ (don't switch back-and-forth, this is what the drivers do in their announcements, it feels really sloppy - the onboard announcements are a topic onto itself, I won't even discuss it here), and _reasonable ease of remembering._ BART station names are also done incorrectly for other reasons: they reverse the standard worldwide railroad _noun-adjective_ order which results in idiocies like: the station Berkeley is listed under "D" on the posters. Imagine you're a visitor, you've just arrived at the SFO, you are leaving the terminal area and entering the BART platforms. And you want to go to Berkeley. You look at the station list poster and... Berkeley is not there! The reason is that the station is listed with the adjective first which is incorrect: "Downtown Berkeley", so it's under "D". (I'm leaving aside the fact that the word "Downtown" is an American English term and is incomprehensible to foreigners.) The correct station name actually should be: "Berkeley", with no adjective. This is the railroad standard: the main station name is left unadorned _unless_ it's in a city with several _equally important_ train stations, like Paris or Berlin - then something like "Main" is usually added. Obviously, Berkeley does not need it as it has only one stop in the main area of the city (the North station counts as outskirts). If you absolutely MUST add something to "Berkeley" (no idea why anyone would want that, not to mention it forces the annoyance of changing the platform signage), it should use a word everyone can recognize and it should follow the name, e.g. "Berkeley Center". Don't call it "City" because another standard world convention is that the adjective "City" denotes a small, second-banana, auxiliary stop away from the main area. I could go into MUCH more detail on this, and also as I mentioned above, the drivers' announcements onboard are a topic unto itself. There is still more: BART's curious refusal to refer to the lines by numbers. Instead they use _colors_ which is confusing to colorblind people (1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are colorblind, so it's a very common condition). Wait, there is more: the confusion of platform number naming (another long story), whenever drivers refer to them, this information is 100% useless. The reason is there is no corresponding signage on platforms, and also drivers sometimes refer to "platform" when they mean "track", so it's impossible to follow from the get-go. Basically, BART should hire someone to straighten all this mess out once and for all. Strange thing is, most of those problems didn't exist in the 1980s, station names were correct (for example, the correct form "Oakland West" was used instead of the current incorrect "West Oakland", etc.) my guess is the management _then_ consisted of people with rail experience and today it's probably not the case, it feels more like perhaps an amusement park experience (nothing wrong with that, it's just a bit of a mismatch) or perhaps people straight from MBA classes. Not sure. It's very noticeable, other rail systems in the area don't seem to suffer from most of those problems as much. I could go into full detail about all that but it would take literally 10x more space (probably more).

That robotic Stephen Hawking voice is so unbelievably dated, it needs to seriously be updated. Half the time I cant understand it because its so robotic and doesnt enunciate clearly as well as acoustics of stations muffle the voice more. The use of man and woman for each side of the track needs to go as well. So does "Track 1" "Track 2" - People dont know what track is what, so instead say North and South track, East and West track or just say WEST BAY and SF, EAST BAY and SOUTH BAY directions on the track area so people get it.
