BART is selling decommissioned train cars

As KTVU anchor Mike Mibach asks, What would you do with an old BART car?

BART released new details on its proposal to sell decommissioned trains cars as the old fleet gets replaced. 

A spokeswoman for the transit agency, Alicia Trost, told the Chronicle that the deal comes with a few rules. 

The 22-ton cars, many of which are from the original 1972 fleet, will sell for up to $10 thousand dollars. Most of the cars will be stripped and won't include the BART logos. 

Buyers have to have a "crystal clear lifetime and recycling plan" for the car. 

Though the formal proposal process is still months away, some buyers have already expressed interest including Airbnb owners, a local brewery, homeless advocates, and first responders.
