Installation work to begin March 21 for Next Generation Fare Gates at MacArthur Station

The installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin Friday, March 21 at MacArthur Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete for each of the station’s two sets of gates. 

During construction, there will be a barrier around the gates being replaced.  The opposite set of gates will remain in service during the installation. There will be signage and additional BART staff to direct riders to the open gates. The work will not affect train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 23 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.
