Special late-night service and extra security for Taylor Swift Concert

Getting to the concert

BART will run extra trains for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concerts on Friday, July 28, 2023 and Saturday, July 29, 2023. Swifties can rely on BART plus VTA to get to Levi’s Stadium by transit and avoid traffic.

Fans will transfer from BART at Milpitas Station to VTA’s Orange Line and ride to VTA’s Great America Station, located on the North side of Levi’s Stadium.

BART and VTA staff will be in communication to ensure riders are not left stranded.

BART will have extra security and station staff to help people get around. Safety parking lot escorts will be available after midnight for the special service.  

What You Need to Know About the Ride Home

BART will run its normal last train of the evening leaving Milpitas at 11:51pm, making all regular stops. This is the last train that will get you to all BART stations in the system. You can plan this trip using our Trip Planner.

BART will run two special event service limited-stop trains that will depart Milpitas Station at around 12:30am serving limited stops after regular BART service ends both nights.

The late-night limited service will pick up riders at Milpitas Station with stops only at the following East Bay stations, the train will skip all other stations without stopping:

  • Bay Fair
  • MacArthur
  • Pleasant Hill
  • El Cerrito del Norte

These four East Bay stations have large parking lots located near the freeway. Riders who know they want to stay until the very end of the show, even if it runs beyond 11pm, should park their cars or arrange pick-up at one of these four stations. Use the timetable above to share your pick-up time.

These special limited stop trains will be labeled “Limited Stop to El Cerrito” and “Limited Stop to Pleasant Hill.”

Riders coming from San Francisco should take Caltrain home or ensure they take the 11:51pm BART train home. Caltrain is offering an 11:33pm train from Mountain View to San Francisco and a post-concert special service train 75 minutes after the show ends.  BART is not keeping any San Francisco stations open beyond normal closing hours due to the lack of parking lots at SF stations and because Caltrain is providing this special service. 

Other Tips

Parking is free except at Milpitas and Berryessa at Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations which are owned by VTA and VTA's parking rates still apply. Consult the VTA's site for more info on parking: Parking at the Milpitas & Berryessa Transit Centers | VTA

Before you leave home put a Clipper card on your cellphone through either Apple Pay or Google Pay. Clipper is waiving the $3 new-card fee for riders who add either of the mobile options. Please ensure you have sufficient funds for a round trip. Plan at the cost of your trip in advance.
