That is one of the bigger mysteries ever. I suspect that are grappling with some safety issue that they don't want to tell anyone about.

There have been lots and lots of delays, and "environmental impact" is freaquently cited, but not in a way that I find believable, thus my hypothesis that it's a safety thing.

I wouldn't hold my breath for July (but I would keep checking from time to time).

The last I heard (last month) the best guess seemed to be May or later, with nobody willing to say how much later. BART has stopped giving projected opening dates, so that they can't be wrong yet again.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Oh well, looks like I'll be taking a taxi in May! I found a website that will e-mail news on the SFO-BART situation. I think it was www.transitinfo.org.

I would not feel compelled to take a taxi. There's a direct bus to the BART station from SFO - takes 15 minutes and costs just over a $1 or so. Very quick and easy.
