BART to provide special event trains for San Francisco’s 4th of July fireworks

What You Need to Know:

Fireworks are expected to start at 9:30pm. Be in the Embarcadero Station by 10:40pm to catch a train home.

Details of special service

BART will be providing additional trains serving Embarcadero station after regular BART service ends for San Francisco’s 4th of July fireworks. On July 4, 2021, BART service will close at 9pm, with the last trains dispatching from the end of the line around 9:00pm.

Passengers will not be able to enter the system other than at the Embarcadero Station after regular BART service ends. ​

About 30 minutes after the conclusion of the fireworks, BART will run two sets of special event trains from the Embarcadero Station to Richmond, Antioch, Berryessa, and SFO/Millbrae making all station stops.  Dublin/Pleasanton riders should take the Berryessa train and transfer at Bay Fair and take the shuttle train to Dublin/Pleasanton, which will stop at all stations along the line. ​

Tips

  • Riders must be inside the Embarcadero station within 30 minutes after the fireworks end. Keep this in mind with how far down the Embarcadero you go to watch the fireworks.
  • Muni will be providing shuttles along the Embarcadero to BART.
  • Only Embarcadero will be open for entering passengers after regular BART service closes.
  • Load your Clipper card in advance with enough funds for the round trip to avoid lines after the fireworks.
  • If you don’t already have a Clipper card, avoid lines by downloading the new Clipper app and get a free digital Clipper card added to your digital wallet and load funds for immediate use.
  • Parking is free at BART on Sundays at all stations except for Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose. The Valley Transportation Authority operates the lots at Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose and their parking rates still apply.
