And why not Brunel's 7 foot gauge? They just threw darts at a board, so long as it was not standard gauge.

This is corroborated by the fact they did not appreciably widen the cars. MARTA's cars are the same width as BART's. So the argument against standard gauging BART does not apply to the platforms, as BART Technology fans claim.

All those tests just a good cover story for a purely political decision. Just like PB's arguments against Tejon
