B2 Car Background
B2 cars are used in the middle of trains. These cars do not have automatic controls, and rely on a lead and trailing units for their operation in revenue service. They can run under manual control as single units in the yard.
The 1998-2002 rebuilding/conversion process resulted in a 380 car fleet of new B cars (named B2 cars), numbered between 1501 and 1913.

B2 car 1505, ex B car 505
|
B2 Cars numbered 1501-1774 were all formerly B cars 501-774. Some B cars were written off, so there are gaps in the numbering. With rebuilding, the cars gained a new fleet number 1000 more than the previous car number. Thus, 1501 is ex 501.
B2 Cars 1801-1913 were all formerly A cars in one point in time:

|
With the completion of the rebuilding program, it has become common parlance to refer to A2 cars as A cars, and B2 cars as B cars. In all but historical context, the terms A and A2 / B and B2 are interchangeable.
Due to their very versatile nature, they ran in every legacy train. There are no B2 cars on BART property. One B2 car is used for offsite testing and the other #1834, is preserved by the Western Railway Museum. All other B2 cars were decommissioned and scrapped from January 2020 to May 2024. The last B2 car to be scrapped was #1897 in May 2024. A few B2 cars had ad wraps. See the Ad Wraps page to view more about these colorful BART cars. |

Exterior
B2 car 1801, formerly B car 801, and originally A car 147. More about the A car to B car conversion below.
|
The B2 cars feature a brushed (now, more of a chalky) aluminum carbody with four blue trim stripes. Each side has two pairs of side doors allowing for entry and exit.
Each car is equipped with 16 tinted windows (two sizes) and two trouble lights (which indicate conditions such as a door open or brakes stuck on). Each B2 car has 20 intercar barriers (5 per corner), which prevent passengers from falling in between cars. |
Interior
|
Almost every B2 car is equipped with 53 seats. Each seat is generously cushioned, and measure about 21 inches in width with 34 inch pitch (comparable to economy plus in the airline world, and still a bit wider than most).
There are 7 "single" seats in the middle of each B2 car, on the right side (facing forward, the Y direction). These are often the most popular seats, and usually prioritized by commuters traveling alone. On A2 and B2 cars, there are four "pods" (sets of seats facing each other) allowing for multiple riders to converse (or something - it's useful for families but not individual commuters). The arm rests are of the "beige-millstone aluminum/melamine" theme type, a contrast to their original lives as A/B cars and the C1 cars (which had the "wood" theme). There are dozens of grab straps and grab bars located along the ceiling and at certain seats (in lieu of an seat-mounted grab bar). The straps were a relatively recent addition (from the past 10 years), and come in both standard and lowered sizes. Each car is equipped with two maps, two emergency evacuation instructions, and eight ad holders. Both the X and Y ends of each car are equipped with intercar closure doors and tubes, allowing for safe passage between moving cars. |
|
Each B2 car features two assigned spaces for bikes, two assigned spaces for passengers with wheelchairs/mobility aids, and four sideways seats prioritized for passengers with disabilities (seat cushions seated yellow).
Passengers without disabilities are allowed to sit in these priority seats. Signage says these yellow seats are "to be made available" to seniors and persons with diabilities (in line with 49 CFR 37.167, which requires the notice), but there is no legal requirement for the (non-senior) passenger (without disabilities) to vacate the seat. That being said, it is good practice and good for society to offer these seats to people who need them, when they request for them. Each B2 car is equipped with four cameras, for safety. Both the X and Y ends of each car are equipped with an intercom, linking the patron to the train operator. This can be used to contact the operator in an emergency. Additionally, each car is equipped with two fire extinguishers, and an emergency plank. |
