Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The wheel contour that BART uses was the result of extensive research to determine what worked best on their railroad. On BART cars you never feel the trucks hunting on the tracks. Tapered treads are NOT universal in the railroad world. Other countries, such as Australia, use treads similar to BART for the same reasons.
