Trains to SF on the Fremont line are already crowded as hell before you even get to Oakland.

If you live there and are trying to get to the city, good luck finding a seat, plan to stand for as long as 30 minutes in a crowded cart.

I hope they thought this through and are adding more trains so that it doesn't make it even more unbearable.

Well in many big cities nobody expects to be able to sit on a subway train anytime during peak hours. Where I lived, seats were mostly for seniors, children, people with disabilities. That's just what mass transit looks like in a busy city. It is not unusual for cars to be packed so dense you can't move or even get on a train. And all that with trains coming every couple minutes.

There is a San Francisco Chronicle article which answers your point: http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/BART-extension-to...

tl;dr: They need 30-40 more cars. Testing on 10 new ones has found issues (which is the point of testing). Contract says 25 more should arrive by the end of 2017.

I used to take BART from Fremont to Civic Center daily. Good luck getting a seat after Union City.

Well if you live in milpitas you can be assured a seat. It will be empty when it starts.
