BART is making minor schedule changes effective January 15, 2024

BART is making minor changes to the schedule beginning January 15, 2024. 

Some departure times have shifted by a few minutes, and we encourage riders to check the schedule before January 15th to see if their trip is impacted. 

BART’s Trip Planner has been updated for trips beginning January 15, 2024 and PDF timetables are available here and below. 

We also slightly adjusted the BART to Antioch train arrival and departure times to reduce wait times at the transfer platform.

BART shared the new schedule with partner transit agencies in early November to give time for them to make any necessary changes to ensure schedules are aligned and transfers are timed as best as possible. Schedule coordination is part of the Transformation Action Plan that Bay Area transit agencies are working on to improve the transit experience in the region.

Take BART to the 2024 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinese New Year Parade happens Saturday, February 24, 2024,. It is the largest illuminated night parade in the country! 

Montgomery Station is the closest BART station to the start of the parade at Market and 2nd Streets that begins at 5 p.m. Embarcadero and Powell stations are also near the parade route.

Avoid Lines at Vending Machines and Put Clipper on Your Phone

Getting a Clipper card on your cellphone or Apple Watch before you head to the parade will save you time and money. 

Before you leave home, put a digital Clipper card in your phone’s (or Apple Watch’s) digital wallet through either Apple Pay or Google Pay and load funds for immediate use (check the round trip fare for your trip). Every rider 5 years and older needs their own Clipper card - families can’t share a card. Do not use the Clipper app for this. Taking these steps before you arrive at BART will save you time (and the $3 plastic card fee) as lines for the vending machines may be long.

Just a few more weeks to become a "Bay Area Explorer" on BART!

Bay Area Explorer banner

There are just a few more weeks to become a "Bay Area Explorer" on BART by hopping on our trains and completing cool challenges. 

In September, BART partnered with Bay Area Explorer 4.0., a free, educational campaign that uses AR gaming to help kids engage in free outdoor learning experiences using their phones or their parents’ phones. Think Pokémon Go, but for parks and education. 

For Bay Area Explorer 4.0., BART launched four missions for riders that will take them on a fun journey from Warm Springs to San Leandro, Millbrae to Daly City, North Concord to Rockridge, and Richmond to Ashby. The missions will run until Oct. 16. 

Anyone can join by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing missions made up of educational “challenges” that teach children about local history, culture, ecosystems, and safety. Simply get on the train and head to one of the mission areas to activate the game or play while on your commute. 

Other missions offered in the Bay Area include the Oakland Zoo, Don Edward National Wildlife Refuge, San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, Santa Clara County Parks, the City of San Jose, and more.

Players who complete missions will receive rewards as they play and also earn the chance to win big prizes, including a $250 Clipper Card.
