A human being is always handy for unexpected situations, and since BART was
one of the first fully automated systems, it had a lot of problems initially.
There may be union requirements for people, too.

The fact that a human operator is aboard a train doesn't mean that the train
can't operate itself in normal service, just as the presence of pilots aboard
an airliner doesn't mean that the airliner cannot fly itself most of the time.

But you claimed that these rapid transit trains were fully automated.
Which is demonstrated by BARTs web page to be wrong

Another error you can chalk up ...

As I recall, that was the original design intention. BART is not alone, of
course. Here in Paris, line 14 of the subway system is fully automated, so
much so that it continues to run during strikes because it doesn't require any
human beings in the first place.

In general, if a system can operate normally without human intervention, it is
fully automated, even if exceptional situations require human intervention
(beyond certain design points, all exceptions require human intervention in
any system).

I don't think the children would be so easy on him
