Wait a sec. I'm curious how you arrive at 80 miles for eBART:

2.3 ROUTE/ALIGNMENT

Horizontal and Vertical Alignment


The Proposed Project (including maintenance facilities) would extend approximately 10 miles
from the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station eastward via the median of SR 4 (see Figure 2-1).
The distance from the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station to the terminus station platform in the
median east of Hillcrest Avenue is 9.1 miles
; the remaining approximately 0.9 miles is for train
storage and maintenance.
