I use both so this is my take: Bart is for going farther out in the Bay Area than just San Francisco. It can take you to both SFO and OAK airports, to many parts of the East Bay and part of the Peninsula too. The fares are charged according to distance. The Muni Metro is used more locally in San Francisco and it is a flat rate of $1.50 in any direction any distance, plus you get transfers to return within a certain timeframe.

Municipal Metro only operates in San Francisco proper, BART also serves the East Bay and some Peninsula suburbs.
They share four underground stations Downtown and there are surface-to-underground transfer points at Balboa Park and Glen Park.
At first glance... it seems like they're covering the same terrain, but in fact Muni Metro stops practically every two blocks on the surface sections, functioning almost like a bigger and faster bus. While BART only stops at a few underground stations in San Francisco (in order to move more quickly onto the suburbs).
See, this is how San Francisco Proper's rail network looks from the air:

And this is how it should look in 2015 (if City Hall secures enough funding to build it!):

Muni metro just serves the city of San Francisco. It is part of the Muni system the public transportation system in San
Francisco. Parts of the Metro subway system do run parallel to the BART system, however they branch out to parts of the City that Bart does not serve.
BART or Bay Area Rapid Transit leaves San Francisco and goes as far east as Richmond and Pittsburg in Contra Costa County, Pleasanton in Alameda county, SFO in San Mateo County, and Fremont again in Alameda County.
While to the novice they seem redundant, they actually are desinged to complment one another.

Each time a person feels of San Francisco thinks at a giant International Orange-coloured link, a park spanning a lot more than 1,000 miles or perhaps a city wherever contemporary artwork and lifestyle and if you are thinking about this city then this is actually the place to begin hotelbye . Among the things for everything you should visit San Francisco is PIER 39. From remarkable opinions and a sea of sea lions to chowder bread bowls and California wines, your trip to San Francisco starts at PIER 39. This place is the absolute most visited location in San Francisco. It gives two degrees of dining, activity, buying and attractions, all surrounded by unbeatable opinions of the town and the bay. Based along the historic San Francisco waterfront, PIER 39's spot supplies the image ideal history for postcard opinions of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the famous town skyline.

MUNI is the municiple transit system for the city of San Francisco. It included the cable cars, trolleys and busses that operate entirely within the city limits.
BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is a commuter rail system that serves most of the Bay Area counties. It consists of 4 primary 'lines' and in a few areas is supplmented by contracted bus service.
