The mainline BART network operates with [[Electric multiple unit|electric powered, self-propelled railcars]]. For most lines, six cars are coupled together in a train, except the Yellow Line, which uses eight-car trains.<ref name="Train Size Change 2023" /> BART trains have [[gangway connection]]s, and passengers can move freely between cars.<ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. Subway Car Design Behind the Curve |url=https://www.planetizen.com/node/75624 |access-date=September 15, 2022 |website=www.planetizen.com |language=en}}</ref> The cars have three doors on each side, bike racks, 54 seats per car, and [[Passenger information system|interior and exterior displays]] giving information.<ref name="BARTNewTrainCarProject" /> The new cars, branded by BART as its "Fleet of the Future", were unveiled in April 2016.<ref name="New train cars">{{Cite web |date=April 6, 2016 |title=Onsite testing begins for BART's first new train car |url=https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2016/news20160406 |access-date=April 22, 2016 |website=www.bart.gov}}</ref> The first cars were expected to be in service in December 2016, however, glitches and a failed [[California Public Utilities Commission|CPUC]] inspection delayed introduction to January 19, 2018.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez |first=Joe Fitzgerald |date=November 7, 2017 |title=BART's new train cars fail regulatory test, possibly delaying rollout |work=San Francisco Examiner |url=http://www.sfexaminer.com/barts-new-train-cars-fail-regulatory-test-possibly-delaying-rollout/ |access-date=November 8, 2017 |archive-date=November 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171108001741/http://www.sfexaminer.com/barts-new-train-cars-fail-regulatory-test-possibly-delaying-rollout/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabanatuan |first=Michael |date=January 18, 2018 |title=New BART rail cars approved for service |work=San Francisco Chronicle |url=http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/New-BART-rail-cars-approved-for-service-10-more-12507069.php}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Brinklow |first=Adam |date=January 19, 2018 |title=New BART cars go into service today |work=Curbed SF |url=https://sf.curbed.com/2018/1/19/16909532/new-bart-cars-transit-bay-area-when |access-date=January 19, 2018}}</ref> A total of 775 cars were ordered from [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]] (which merged with [[Alstom]] during production):<ref>{{Cite news |last=Richman |first=Josh |date=May 10, 2012 |title=BART board approves contract for 410 new train cars |work=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_20595058/bart-board-approves-contract-new-410-rail-cars |access-date=May 11, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Bowen |first=Douglas John |date=May 11, 2012 |title=BART taps Bombardier; U.S. content at issue |url=http://www.railwayage.com/index.php/passenger/rapid-transit/bart-taps-bombardier-us-content-at-issue.html |magazine=Railway Age |access-date=May 11, 2012}}</ref> 310 cab cars (D-cars) and 465 non-cab cars (E-cars).<ref name="Board-11-21-13">{{Cite web |date=November 21, 2013 |title=Board Meeting Agenda |url=http://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/agendas/11-21-13%20Agenda%20Packet_2.pdf |access-date=December 5, 2013 |publisher=San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District |pages=91–92}}</ref><ref name="BARTNewTrainCarProject">{{Cite web |title=New Train Car Project |url=http://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars/new-features |access-date=January 29, 2018 |publisher=Bay Area Rapid Transit District}}</ref> {{As of|2024|7|23|df=US}}, BART has received all 775 D and E cars, of which 769 have been certified for service.<ref>{{cite web |year=2013 |title=New Train Car Project |url=https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars |access-date=August 28, 2023 |website=San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District |publisher=}}</ref> To run its peak service, BART requires 400 cars.

The previous BART fleet, consisting of A, B, and C cars, was built between 1968 and 1996.<ref name="Train Size Change 2023" /> It was retired from regular service on September 11, 2023, with the final revenue runs on April 20, 2024.<ref name="Train Size Change 2023">{{Cite web |date=August 24, 2023 |title=Sizing Trains for Safety and Efficiency |url=https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/2023-08/Sizing%20Trains%20for%20Safety%20and%20Efficiency%20FY2024.pdf |access-date=August 28, 2023 |website=San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District}}</ref><ref>{{Cite press release |title=BART invites the public to "ride through history" at a legacy car retirement ceremony and final ride on 4/20/24 |url=https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2024/news20240311 |date=April 16, 2024 |publisher=San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District}}</ref>

The [[Oakland Airport Connector]] uses a completely separate and independently operated fleet of [[cable car (railway)|cable car-based]] [[automated guideway transit]] vehicles. It uses four [[Cable Liner]] trains built by [[DCC Doppelmayr Cable Car]], arranged as three-car sets, but the system can accommodate four-car trains in the future.

The initial BART system included car storage and maintenance yards in Concord, Hayward, and Richmond, with an additional maintenance only (no car storage) yard in Oakland. The Daly City car storage and maintenance yard opened in December 1988.<ref name="barthistory" /> The Oakland Airport Connector uses the [[Doolittle Maintenance and Storage Facility]]. eBART vehicles use a facility in Antioch.
