Bus Bridge Alert: Hazardous tree removal and track work between Glen Park and Daly City on first weekend in December (12/2-3)
BART’s safety initiative to remove potentially hazardous trees in advance of severe winter storms will next focus on San Francisco and Daly City. To provide crews with enough room to safely do the work, free buses will replace trains between Glen Park and Daly City stations the first weekend in December, Saturday December 2, and Sunday December 3. Riders in the area should anticipate delays of up to 30 minutes. If the weather should interfere with the work on December 2-3, then the tree removal will be rescheduled for the following weekend, December 9-10.
Riders in the area on the work weekend will have to get off their train at Glen Park or Daly City and then board a free bus to get to the next station in their direction of travel to continue their trip. Some buses will run directly between Glen Park and Daly City while others will stop at Glen Park, Balboa Park, and Daly City.
Service from the East Bay to Downtown San Francisco
The Yellow and Blue lines will serve the downtown San Francisco stations. The Blue line will turn back at the 24th Street/Mission and the Yellow line will turn back at Glen Park. Blue Line riders traveling beyond 24th Street/Mission will need to walk across the platform and take the Yellow line train to the bus bridge at Glen Park.
Green line service will be cancelled on both days of the track shutdown.
To provide some increased transbay frequency, BART will run some Red line Richmond to Montgomery and Montgomery to Richmond trains between 11:00am and 6pm.
Service between Daly City and SFO/Millbrae and Millbrae/SFO to Daly City
BART will run only one line between Daly City and SFO/Millbrae and Millbrae/SFO to Daly City with service every 20 minutes. Each train will make all stops including SFO and Millbrae. These trains departure times will not match our normal timetable, but will run every 20 minutes. Riders traveling beyond Daly City will need to board the bus bridge.
Late Night Cancelled Train
The last northbound train of the night normally scheduled to leave Millbrae at 11:52pm and SFO at 12:00am will be cancelled both evenings of the track shutdown. Riders instead should plan to catch the 11:40pm departure from Millbrae that leaves SFO at 11:48pm.
BART will make the most of the weekend when this segment of the system will be closed by also working on trackway improvements. You can learn more about BART’s safety initiative to remove potentially dangerous trees on the project page.
