Installation work to begin Friday, June 6 for Next Generation Fare Gates at Bay Fair Station

On Friday, June 6 BART will begin the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates on the concourse level of Bay Fair Station. The installation work will happen in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining gates while new ones are being installed. A temporary gate will be installed to support entry and exit. There will be additional BART staff as well as signage to direct riders to the open gates. There will also be a service gate available for those riders who would typically use an accessibility gate.

The installation of each new set of gates is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. The work to replace all three sets of fare gates at Bay Fair Station is expected to continue into July.

A temporary barrier will be installed around each set of gates when it is ready to be removed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. The work will not delay train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 36 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 Gates project here.
