BART to reduce some Early Bird Express Bus trips in 2024; changes occur 4/28/24 and 6/10/24

BART offers alternative bus service called the Early Bird Express for weekday service before BART opens.

Due to low bus ridership on several routes, limited funding, and increasing demand for bus drivers from partner agencies, BART will make a series of service reductions to the Early Bird Express service in 2024. BART will retain eight trips that serve 90% of riders and will eliminate seven trips, impacting 10% of riders. 

The changes will impact fewer than 20 riders.

The first change will occur on April 28, 2024. and then more changes will take place effective June 10, 2024.

The full details of service changes, maps, and suggested alternatives can be found on the Early Bird Express page.

BART and partner bus agencies will do targeted outreach about these upcoming changes.
