   The train arrival announcements on BART are extremely robotic and hard to hear

     @skinnylatte I wonder if they are on the original system. What I noticed, way back when, was BART seemed to still be running on Day 1 systems and not refreshing stuff.

     @skinnylatte Strange fact: BART train tracks are not standard gauge (distance between the rails) so other trains cannot easily use those tracks, everything is a bit custom. https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2022/news20220708-2

     @fuzzface @skinnylatte Ooh, weird personal factoid: the guy who’s house we bought was a BART engineer (Ukranian, paranoid of the KGB, even in northern California) who worked on designing those rails!
