1. 1舊金山灣區捷運(Bay Area Rapid Transit)

    BART is the name of the public railway in the San Francisco Bay Area, short for Bay Area Rapid Transit. People say it as one word, Bart, not letter by letter. It is the region’s metro: trains that take you between San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, the airport, and other towns around the bay. Part of the system runs underground, including a famous tunnel under the water between San Francisco and Oakland; other stretches run above ground. Locals talk about “taking BART” the way people talk about taking the MRT. It is a proper name, so you write it in capitals. You will meet it in travel English, news, and stories set in northern California — not as a general word for any subway. It has nothing to do with the cartoon boy named Bart, though visitors make that joke all the time.

組成An acronym: Bay Area Rapid Transit. People pronounce it as one word, “Bart.”
