BART will run Sunday service (8am-midnight) for Thanksgiving 2023

BART will run a Sunday service schedule for Thanksgiving 2023. This means on Thursday, November 23, 2023, BART hours will be 8am-Midnight with all five lines running until 9pm, and three lines running from 9pm-midnight.

Friday, November 24, 2023, will have a normal weekday service (5am-midnight).

Thanksgiving Day is a Parking Holiday

Parking will be free at all stations except for Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose operated by the Valley Transportation Authority.

All other parking rules will be enforced.

The day after Thanksgiving, Friday November 25, is not a parking holiday. Those who need to park can purchase the daily fee through the official BART app or make a cash, credit/debit card payment at the station. Download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and pay within the app using a credit card, debit card, Venmo, or PayPal.

Follow this guide to purchase long-term parking (now known as single/multi-day parking) on the official BART app.  You can reserve multiple days of parking in advance and leave your vehicle overnight.

Book multi-day parking at a BART station for your Thanksgiving trip

Airport parking can be a hassle and is always expensive, except at BART stations. We offer inexpensive multi-day parking at many stations with easy online reservations. 

Multi-Day Reserved parking is for consecutive overnight stays of up to 20 weekdays. Purchase on the official BART app or pay by website. You will need to provide the license plate of the car you plan to drive and a phone number.

Park in the designated Reserved area. There is no need to print anything in advance or display anything inside your car. 

The Reserved signs are blue + white or yellow. Your spot will be held for you until 10 a.m. After that time, you may park in the Reserved area if space is available, but the space is no longer guaranteed. Please do not park in the Daily Fee areas, as we do not check for Reserved parking there and you could receive a citation. 

Another option to get to SFO via BART is to purchase Multi-Day Reserved parking and drive to Millbrae Station then take a quick ride from Millbrae to SFO Airport. 

Millbrae parking garage to expand Reserved Area to accommodate anticipated holiday demand

The Millbrae parking garage will be reconfigured over the next few weeks to accommodate for more reserved parking and the growing demand for single/multi-day reserved parking. The top floor of the garage and a portion of the 4th floor will be converted from Daily Fee to Reserved parking in preparation for the holiday season. Learn more here.
