At least somebody uses 5'6" gauge in the world. Bechtel-SP could have gone for Brunel's 7' gauge - technically superior and would have served the same purpose to sandbag the thing with proprietary and incompatible.

5'6" BART is as much a museum op as the 3'6" cable cars, which at least had a reason to go narrow to match San Francisco streets. BART did not even see fit to go to wider cars - MARTA standard gauge cars are the same width as BART's.

Don't build any more of that idiosyncratic crap. We are in standard gauge America. And again what is a NYC subway with no W.C.'s doing out there amongst the cows many miles from any skyrises? WTF is broad gauge doing in Livermore?
