I wish you would give a view out the other side of the bus because that’s where the stations are
Thank you so much for making this!!
BART gets some hate, but honestly, I found the service itself to be pretty good. Once they get the new fare gates installed everywhere and modernize all their traincars, I think its will be pretty great
What’s up, man and excellent coverage! Good news: this summer, you will see me in Berlin again! I’m not sure if you are in Florida at that time! 🤣
This one really shows the beauty of SF homes
Indeed. Many homes in SF are beautiful with a cozy personality.
Love my city!
So Track 2 would be on the other side?
Yes. Track 2 is the other side (mostly northbound trains to Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach). However, there will be a time where station manager is going to make an announcement that southbound trains will stop at platform 2. So when arriving to the station, try to listen for announcements or ask a station manager (or security).
@@HOUExplorer Thank you.
the peachtree station’s architecture is cool
Excellent video! We will be taking the Brightline from Miami to Orlando in a few months. This video has helped me 'get my bearings' for this trip. Thank you!
Next video you should face the other way next time
JESUS LOVES YOU!
Did you find San Francisco dangerous as a tourist and should you avoid some areas? Is the train system safe or are there a lot of homeless people riding along?
I was surprised to find SF safe and hardly any homeless people riding the train. Just like other many major cities in the US. My only tip is that do not make eye contact or react (especially the mentally ill people, they might go crazy if you do).
No real homeless on the train but the occasional odd person but it’s mostly just people going about their day. Avoid tenderloin and civic center neighborhood. Everywhere else is fine.
It's not dangerous like how the media tends to twist the story around, I grew up here and I still feel very safe living here. The real dangerous city is actually Vallejo in Solano County there's no law enforcement there so people do whatever they want there with no consequences and a lot of people from other cities go there to commit crimes and it's full of homeless everywhere.
What's up, man! That light rail engine actually sounds similar to the Siemens S70 in Houston. By the way, I am planning to visit Washington DC and Walt Disney World this summer.
Nice! Have fun riding WMATA! One of the best subways in the US! Also, are you planning to take Brightline to/from Orlando?
S70 is the predecessor to these ones. I don’t particularly love the sound… it’s very loud. The trams here in Basel where I live are much quieter.
I like this 👍🏽

The new BARTs are baller!
Could you do full video ride to Santa Monica on the Metro E line
Yes. Here is the video from East LA to Santa Monica: ruclips.net/video/pE6qNgmg9Fg/видео.htmlsi=D_aUX4Ak6-0bI_bg
Very good. What you do not do is immediately board the train as soon as it pulls into the station either at San Francisco international airport or Antioch, or wherever the end of the line is at any general station. You may have noticed that they had to close the doors. This allows the train operators to perform what’s called a checkmate, so that they can ensure the train is clear of passengers that were arriving into SFO. Once they have completed their checks, they will go to the other cab on the backside of the train and, unlock the doors from there, allowing passengers to board and take their seats. This allows for boarding of new passengers.
Thank you and it is good to know.
@@HOUExplorer No, they don't usually care if you get on then. Lots of people do that routinely and they really don't care whether or not the train is clear. They even do a walkthrough where they pick up trash and/or mop the floor at the end of the line nowadays. I often ride from Dublin/Pleasanton which is an end-of-line stop and I can reassure you it's fine if you board right when the train arrives lol
You see that seam in the middle of the vinyl covered seats? It's completely full of crusty nasty gunk. It's better to stand then to have to come in contact with whatever is in there.
Our metro rail system started on the right foot in the late 70's but in the mid 80's turned into a politically driven project that would later also become a way to scam citizens out of their money through the half cent initiative that ended up being used for office new office positions & employee raises rather than new lines.

What's up, man! Looks like you returned to The Golden State. The Muni Metro at the end actually reminds me of the Stadtbahn in Stuttgart because it's a light rail that runs underground unlike a regular streetcar/tram.
Yup, it sure does. Sometimes Downtown SF stations reminds me several double decker subway stations in Europe.
Nice ride but why the termination at a crummy hotel in the middle of nowhere?!
I love the visual and informative displayed content.
Love this! Not only is it great visuals for those visiting but you included some tidbits about the city and what to do by the stations. :)
Boy, their trains, certainly beat, the REM, in: Montreal, lol!
Hey, it beats: renting a car, no?
That fuzzy blob you see on the side window is where someone with heavy Jerry Curl in their hair leaned on to sleep on the train. Disgusting, I know!!!
12:32 You could also point out that city hall was used as OCP headquarters and Renaissance Tower is visible behind Murphy when he practices his gun twirling.
The variety of transit infrastructure is what I miss in SF, you have subways, streetcars, tunnels through mountains, BART viaducts, underground passes, and soon a new tunnel to the train station at the SalesForce Transit center. I live in Switzerland and yes the transit is varied but in my city of Basel they only have trams, and it’s all street running, no tunnels or viaducts, just some dedicated lanes and some decent stations. Pretty green and yellow trams though.
Bart is my favorite!
I used to ride the 20 bus all the time! Same with the 801. I liked the buses in Austin, they weren't perfect but it was definitely a nice way to get around town. Honestly a real powerhouse of a bus line, solidly frequent too.
Maybe one day I might move in San Francisco because my girlfriend lives in San Francisco
Beautiful city...great weather all year long. I've used to live there before moving to Houston.
@@HOUExplorer Oh that's very nice though I've used to lived in Harris County it's very nice and I met my dather there
Welcome back to The Golden State! It's too bad that the new Stadler KISS is still not in operation yet for Caltrain and you didn't got a chance to ride it! Oh well, at least there are some FLIRT train running for some agencies. The European trains are way better than America's but I think they both have something special in common. LOL
I'm looking forward to ride the new Caltrain's KISS train soon.
@@HOUExplorerThey are already testing, you can begin riding them in late summer/fall 2024.

Nice 😊
Is this video 4K or not?
Interesting your flight appeared to park at what seems to be the concourse that Alaska Airlines uses, judging from the many Eskimo tails I saw! If so, UA is Star Alliance whereas Alaska is oneworld. Would imagine you took BART from SFO to whatever hotel you selected. Will be interesting to see what you cover! I believe there are PCC streetcars that are used somewhere in the downtown area but having never been to San Francisco what do I know! :)
You past my house
What's up, man! Looks like that you returned back to The Golden State. Trip was smooth and ended well, even though the flight was pretty crowded. The lounge was pretty clean and well served, with many foods to choose and robots that pick up trash or delivers the food. By the way, if you have a chance, check out my new achievement on Broward County Transit Bus Route 2 two hour trip. 😉
I was in Atlanta
Dunno why I'm watching this. I take this route pretty often lol
A 14 mm lens would be perfect for the terminal shots.
I rode this train from Orlando to West Palm last December. Unfortunately I rode on a Sunday when Jets playing against Dolphins. It was a long loud miserable ride. I'm never doing it again. Just hearing that family talking for your entire ride on this video makes me want to never ride on a train (or plane) again. Nice train, but I'm an introvert, so I would rather drive myself wherever.😊
I 100% agree and wish that Brightline would offer quiet car.
Loud mouth Venezuelans in that car lol. Your's were loud mouth football fans. These are loud mouth soccer fans.
Great video! What did you use to take the video?
Thank you. I have used the iPhone 15 Pro.
@@HOUExplorer ok & you’re welcome!
