What is the small aspect of BART? They have ten-car platforms and all that. ETA: the Internet thinks DC Metro platforms are 100 feet shorter than BART platforms.

BART has substantially less urban trackage than DC and cities have much higher transit ridership.
A more DC-like BART probably would have prioritized the second Transbay Tube and Geary Subway over the line to San Jose. BART did throw out the Geary baby with the bathwater when Marin County left.
