No :) BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit, a public transportation system with its own bureaucracy and publicly elected board. Caltrans is a separate State bureaucracy, though it has a big office in the city of Oakland near BART Headquarters. And then there is Caltrain which is the commuter rail that runs down the peninsula. That organization has its own bureaucracy and board, too. Lesson to be learned: don't use obscure acronyms unknown outside a small geographical region :) Owen DeLong wrote:
