All transit vehicles are Custom Built. Even the Standard Light Rail Vehicle (SLRV) built for Muni & Boston's MBTA were customized for each city. Passenger rail cars are custom to suit the operating properties. While BART has wide gauge tracks, so do Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (and those two are not the same.)
BART's cars contain a lot of new technology and thus have their problems. This has been the case in other cities as well as other car builders.
