The Bay Area Rapid Transit is a heavy rail public rapid transit system that serves the San Francisco Bay Area in northern California. Construction began in 1964 and the first trains began running in 1972. The train is notable for a segment where it runs under the water in a subway under the San Francisco Bay. There are currently four lines.

People buy tickets inside the station. They insert the ticket into the gate, enter the train area, and take the ticket out. After they have boarded and exited the train, they do the same thing to exit the station. The ticket shows how much money is left on the card. If a person enters and exits the same station he or she will be charged $3.85.
[change] Expansions
In the 2000s, it was expanded to reach San Francisco Airport. Projects are also going on right now to expand the line into Oakland Airport as well. Projects are also happening to expand the system past the Dublin/Pleasanton station and Pittsburg Bay-Point stations. An extension to San Jose, California is expected to be completed by 2018.
