I missed the planning stages except for the SFO expansion. Originally BART was suppose to extend through the entire airport but some took issue with the added expense. It reaches the International terminal.

I've spent a lot of time on BART though, and San Francisco's Muni Metro, CalTrain, and the Capitol Corridor. All great concepts that desperately need upgrades and expansion.
