Platform details now included on BART Trip Planner results
To make planning BART trips and using the BART system even easier, platform details are now included in Trip Planner itineraries, giving riders confidence that they are waiting for their train in the right spot.
The information will be especially helpful for riders who are making platform-to-platform transfers, for example at MacArthur Station as reflected in the before and after images below. The Trip Planner itinerary calls out how riders will transfer from the Yellow Line train at Platform 4 at Macarthur Station to an Orange Line train on Platform 2.
Riders will also be able to see if a train is using a different platform than normal, a tactic used during delay scenarios when trains may need to run on different tracks.
“BART is making changes to ensure navigating transit is as easy as possible as part of our efforts to improve the customer experience and increase ridership,” said Alicia Trost, BART Chief Communications Officer. “New riders and those who use BART infrequently will now have this critical platform information that will make their journey more seamless.”
