<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Don't look for BART's airport extension or San Francisco International's new "people mover" to be up and running in time for the holidays, as had been planned.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Travelers and commuters who have been waiting for more than three decades for the opening of a BART extension to San Francisco International Airport will have to wait for a few more months.
BART officials on Thursday confirmed that the long-delayed SFO extension will not be running by the end of January as promised. That promise came in July when BART officials ran a ceremonial "first train" full of politicians and reporters into SFO, and retreated from the previously expected late fall opening.</font>
