Berkeley Engineering UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design students in the Transportation Graduate Students Organizing Committee (TRANSOC) set off to complete a Guinness World Record: The fastest time to visit all BART stations earlier this month, see the story and the news coverage here: https://its.berkeley.edu/news/transoc-students-set-world-record

So proud of our grad students for putting this together and making the speedrun!

UC Berkeley grad students speed-ran the entire BART system in under 6 hours If approved by the Guinness World Record, the group will hold the official record for the fastest time to travel through the BART system.
