   Umm, which part of ``BART technology'' are you talking about?

   Fare-paid platforms (which date from the 1890s), High-level platforms
   (earlier than that; I'd guess they were being used in the 1850s),
   electrification (1880s), single-man crews (1920s on trolley lines),
   wide-gauge trains (1830s), frequent service (which dates from
   whenever omnibusses started to operate) or automated train control?

   The one thing that BARTification of the SP line would do is give
   single-seat service to the eastbay and Market St.   But if the 3rd
   street streetcar line isn't Seattleld, the SP line will be close
   enough to transit to make a recipe of more service, fare-paid
   platforms, and single-man crews good enough for much of the
   ridership.
