50 years ago this past June, then-President Lyndon Johnson broke ground on BART. Four years later, according to Jeff Quitney, this promotional video for the transit system was released, cheesy acoustic soundtrack and all.
Sure, the video (which was posted to YouTube in February, 2013 and was surfaced on Reddit this week) is over 12 minutes long, but what else do you have to do on a Friday afternoon? If you're still hungry for BART nostalgia after that, the transit agency's own "A History of BART" is a pretty engrossing read.
