![]() The All Nighter network provides basic overnight service to much of the Bay Area. Two different bus networks operated by regional transit agencies run during the overnight hours when BART is not operating. Two of the five rapid transit services (the Green and Red Lines) do not operate after 9 pm, though all stations are served at all service hours. (The previous 4:00 am weekday start time was changed to 5:00 am for a planned three years starting on February 11, 2019, to accommodate retrofitting of the Transbay Tube.) The last trains of the service day leave their terminals around midnight the final Yellow and Orange Line trains in both directions meet at MacArthur station, and the final Orange and Blue Line trains in the southbound direction meet at Bay Fair station, for guaranteed transfers. The first inbound trains leave outer terminals around 5:00 am on weekdays, 6:00 am on Saturdays, and 8:00 am on Sundays and most holidays. The Beige Line runs "on demand", typically on headways of 10 minutes or less. (On Saturdays until 8 pm, Yellow Line service between Pittsburg/Bay Point and SFO runs every 15 minutes.) Segments served by multiple lines have higher frequencies, the busiest of which is the section between Daly City and West Oakland, which has around 16 trains per hour per direction at peak hours. Trains on each primary service run every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on evenings and weekends. ![]() Uses DMU vehicles ( eBART) between Antioch and Pittsburg/Bay Point.īART has elements of both traditional rapid transit (high-frequency urban service with close station spacing) and commuter rail/ regional rail (lower-frequency suburban service with wider station spacing). Colorĭaytime service ends at SFO evening (after 9 pm) service ends at Millbrae. However, the D and E class fleet displays line colors more prominently, and BART has begun to use color names in press releases and GTFS data. The services are mainly identified on maps, schedules, and station signage by the names of their termini. Unlike most other rapid transit systems, BART lines historically were not primarily referred by color names (although the colors used on maps have been constant since 1980) or other shorthand designations. The eastern segment of the Yellow Line (between Antioch and the transfer platform east of Pittsburg/Bay Point) uses different rolling stock and is separated from the rest of the line. ![]() ![]() All stations are served during all service hours. All five services run every day until 9 pm only three services operate evenings after 9 pm. All of the heavy rail services run through Oakland, and all but the Orange Line cross the bay through the Transbay Tube to San Francisco. BART operates five named heavy rail services plus one separate automated guideway line. ![]() The system has 50 stations: 22 in Alameda County, 12 in Contra Costa County, 8 in San Francisco, 6 in San Mateo County, and 2 in Santa Clara County. Services īART serves large portions of its three member counties – San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa – as well as smaller portions of San Mateo County and Santa Clara counties. The system has been extended several times, most recently in 2020, when Milpitas and Berryessa/North San José stations opened as part of the under construction Silicon Valley BART extension in partnership with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The initial system opened in stages from 1972 to 1974. With an average of 145,700 weekday passengers as of the third quarter of 2022 and 26,026,800 annual passengers in 2021, BART is the fifth-busiest heavy rail rapid transit system in the United States.īART is operated by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District which formed in 1957. BART serves 50 stations along six routes and 131 miles (211 kilometers) of track, including a 9-mile (14 km) spur line running to Antioch, which uses diesel multiple-unit vehicles, and a 3-mile (4.8 km) automated guideway transit line serving the Oakland International Airport. Bay Area Rapid Transit ( BART) is a rapid transit system serving the San Francisco Bay Area in California. ![]()
