Installation of new train control equipment at Millbrae Station requires mid-day weekday platform shift for riders starting Monday, August 11

Calendar with dates for Communications Based Train Control work at Millbrae Station highlighted in red. This work at Millbrae will begin August 11 and conclude September 12.

On Monday, August 11, crews will begin installing components for a new Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system. This process will require all BART trains that normally arrive at Platform 3 to instead use Platform 2 from 9:30am-3:30pm on weekdays. The work is expected to last for approximately one month. 

Riders who would normally transfer between Caltrain and BART will now have to go up to the concourse level of Millbrae Station and cross over the tracks to make their transfer. There will be additional staff and signage to help riders find their train. The work is not expected to impact train service. 

Once fully installed at all 50 stations, the new CBTC system will allow BART to safely run more trains and will also enhance reliability by replacing aging equipment. You can learn about BART’s train control modernization efforts here.
