Installation work to begin week of October 27th for Next Generation Fare Gates at Coliseum Station

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin the week of October 27th at Coliseum Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at eight stations across the system including Fruitvale and West Oakland.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Coliseum Station.  Both temporary gates are located next to the Station Agent Booth. When facing the booth from the non-paid area of the station, the fare gate to your right is used to enter the station and the fare gate to your left is used to exit. Additionally, a carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each fare gate, to make these two gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. The removal of the old gates and installation of the new gates will not impact train service, but riders may experience a few minutes wait to pass through the temporary gates during peak travel hours. 

All BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.
