This video encompasses the everyday experiences of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) commuters – buying tickets, waiting on platforms, boarding and exiting trains. Within this context several layers of information related to BART are portrayed. They include: scenes from surveillance cameras and the master control room displaying the progress of the trains throughout the system, and a car driving from Berkeley to San Francisco crossing the Bay Bridge while a train travels toward the tunnel beneath the Bay.
