Bus Bridge and Green Line Cancellation Alert: Free buses replace trains between 24th St. Mission and Daly City on the weekend of November 14 & 15 for work on new train control system

BART crews will be in the trackway between 24th St. Mission and Daly City stations to enable crews to install critical components of a new train control system that will greatly enhance BART’s reliability and capacity for decades to come.

The work team will be installing equipment for our new Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system. To ensure a safe workspace for the team, there will be no train service between 24th St. Mission and Daly City stations on the weekend of Saturday, November 14 & Sunday, November 15. The work will also require us to cancel the Green Line for the weekend.

Train service between Daly City and Millbrae stations will run every 15 minutes.
All other lines will maintain 20-minute service.
Departure times for all lines will shift up to 3 minutes earlier or later compared to normal schedules because of the complexities of turning trains around at 24th St Mission.
An extra Orange Line train will depart Berryessa at 5:40 AM on Saturday and 7:40 AM on Sunday to replace the cancelled first Green Line train.

Delays Expected:

Riders traveling south of 24th St. Mission Station can expect delays up to 30 minutes during this shutdown weekend.

BART’s Trip Planner will be updated by the end of October to reflect the schedule changes on the work weekend. We have posted the special schedule timetables for each line below.

You can keep up with the latest updates for projects that affect service by going to our Alerts and Advisories page.

Passenger support staff and interpreters will be at all stations. Temporary wayfinding signage will also be posted at all impacted stations to direct riders to the bus bridge.

This latest work will build on what has been an ongoing effort to install BART’s new CBTC system. The state-of-the-art CBTC system will transform BART service by enabling trains to run closer together. A modernized train control system will enable BART to increase projected transbay capacity to 30 trains per hour per direction in the core system area, up from the current limitation of 24 trains per hour per direction.

Parking information:

From Friday, November 13th to Sunday, November 15th, two surface lots at Daly City Station will be temporarily closed to accommodate the bus bridge and BART maintenance project laydown area for the new Communications-Based Train Control system work. Please follow signage, which will be posted in advance.

• The surface lot on St. Charles Avenue will be closed starting Friday at 8pm and will reopen by Monday at 4am.
