The future of Bay Area transit may include a second transbay BART line and an intercity train line from Sacramento to San Francisco, according to a new projected map released Wednesday.

The report, from the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, reimagines how people will get around the Bay Area "megaregion" that consists of 21 counties in Northern California.

The new project, announced this week — titled Link21 in reference to the 21 counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, Monterey area, greater Sacramento area and Northern San Joaquin Valley — is ambitious, and will require years of work and billions of dollars to become a reality.

At its heart is the new transbay rail crossing between Oakland and San Francisco.
