Future
As BART celebrated the 50th anniversary of its creation in 2007, it announced its plans for the next 50 years. Its vision includes a four-bore transbay tube beneath San Francisco Bay that would run parallel and south of the existing tunnel and emerge at the Transbay Transit Terminal to provide connecting service to Caltrain and the planned California High Speed Rail system. The four-bore tunnel would provide two tunnels for BART and two tunnels for conventional/high-speed rail. In the terminal there would be 6 tubes: 4 for HSR and 2 for Caltrain.
