The Bluesky social media platform is growing in popularity, and our followers have been asking for our automated service alerts to be posted there.”
BART Service Alerts are available:
- On bart.gov and the BART Official App (the app offers customized in-app notifications).
- On the bart.gov Alerts and Advisories page
- Via text or email alerts.
- On the social media platform Bluesky at @alerts.bart.gov and X at @SFBARTalert.
