BART is gearing up for some fandom fun as our beloved anime mascots head to FanExpo San Francisco for one day only on Sunday, Nov. 30! Riders and convention-goers can look forward to exclusive giveaways, unique photo ops, and a one-of-a-kind cosplay ride to the event.

We’ll meet in the paid area on the ground floor of MacArthur Station at 10:15am, take a group photo when we exit at Powell St. Station, and walk about 10 minutes to Moscone Center.  

Make sure you have at least $4.50 on your Clipper card for the one-way trip or use Tap and Ride to pay with your contactless bank card at the fare gates.
