Temporary Station Closure Alert: Pittsburg Center to be closed March 8-9 for installation of Next Generation Fare Gates

Pittsburg Center Station will be closed on Saturday, March 8 and Sunday, March 9 to allow work crews to install Next Generation Fare Gates at the station. Pittsburg Center must be closed to facilitate this work because it’s typically unstaffed and is smaller compared with typical BART stations. During the temporary station closure, Yellow Line service will continue to run between Pittsburg/Bay Point and Antioch stations. Trains will run through Pittsburg Center without making stops at that station. Additionally, eBART will operate on a new schedule. Trains from Antioch will depart earlier and arrive later than their published departure times to accommodate work on the Pittsburg Center platforms.

Riders who typically use Pittsburg Center are advised to instead use Antioch or Pittsburg/Bay Point stations during the temporary closure. A free shuttle will replace train service between Pittsburg Center and Pittsburg/Bay Point. The free shuttle will take about 10 minutes to travel between stations and will depart every 20 minutes. Riders who still need to get to or from Pittsburg Center can take the free shuttle provided by Tri Delta Transit. Antioch riders who need to get to Pittsburg Center should take BART from Antioch to Pittsburg/Bay Point and then take a free shuttle bus back to Pittsburg Center. 

 The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 18 other stations across the system. All 50 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.
