New Bombardier BART cars fail PUC test

BART’s 10 new railcars failed to open their doors as designed during an inspection last week, prompting the state Public Utilities Commission to prohibit the transit agency from putting them into service until the problem is fixed.

The glitch, which occurred during a Nov. 3 test run, calls into question whether BART will be able to start carrying passengers on the railcars by Thanksgiving as it had promised.

In a letter Monday, the PUC informed BART General Manager Grace Crunican that the railcars were running as a single train with inspectors from the commission on board. The train failed to recognize it was 10 cars in length, the letter said, and identified itself as a three-car train.
