BART will run a Saturday schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 15, 2024. Saturday service means BART will open at 6am and close at midnight and there is less frequency on the Yellow line (service is every 20 minutes). BART will run all five lines from opening until around 9pm, and three-line service from around 9pm until end of service.

January 15th will also be the first day of minor schedule changes. Some departure times have shifted by a few minutes and we encourage riders to check the schedule before Monday to see if their trip is impacted. 

For the most up-to-date schedule information use our Trip Planner or our official BART app to plan your specific trip. 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also a parking holiday. Parking will be free at all stations except for Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose.  All other parking rules will be enforced.

The Valley Transportation Authority operates the lots at Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose and their parking rates still apply. Consult the VTA's site for more info on parking: Parking at the Milpitas & Berryessa Transit Centers | VTA

The taffeta has been hung up, the dancing shoes retired, and the prom court crowned. Rockridge Station has returned to its regularly scheduled programming, but we have a feeling nobody who was there Saturday night is quite over it yet. We know we aren’t!

On Saturday, June 6, more than 1,200 people of all ages descended on Rockridge Station for BART Prom: Enchantment Under the C Line, our first-ever prom night, and it was every bit as magical as we hoped.

The Rockridge Station parking lot transformed into a glittering dance hall draped in under-the-sea splendor and 80s nostalgia. Guests arrived in sequined gowns, bow ties, lobster costumes, mullets, fare gate interpretations, and every interpretation of 80s-meets-under-the-sea-meets-transit. DJ Billy Vidal kept the dancefloor bumping before 80s cover band Sixteen Scandals took the stage and kept the crowd moving until the very last song (and encore). All the while, BART trains lit up the sky like shooting stars as promgoers cheered them on from the illuminated dancefloor.

At 8pm, the crowd gathered for the moment everyone had been waiting for: the crowning of the BART Prom King and Queen: Porfirio and Wendy. After a spirited public vote on Instagram, Wendy and Porfirio were crowned king and queen in full ceremony, BART-themed crowns, light-up scepters, and all.

There were photo booths and strangers dancing together and families who had never been to a prom sharing a first one. There were kids who will probably talk about this night for weeks, and adults who finally got the do-over they deserved.

This is what BART is all about, not just getting you where you're going, but being part of the moments that make the Bay Area worth living in. Thank you to everyone who came out, dressed up, and made Enchantment Under the C Line a night we won't forget.

See you next year.

At 10:30 am on Tuesday, January 23rd the suspect in Friday afternoon’s shooting at Pittsburg Center Station was taken into custody. The 17-year-old suspect surrendered to BART Police detectives in Walnut Creek. The suspect will be booked into Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall. He’s believed to be the only suspect in Friday’s shooting. Video from one of BART’s network of more than 4,000 surveillance cameras throughout the system played an important role in identifying the suspect.

At 3:51 pm on Friday, January 19 BART PD received a call about a shooting that occurred on the platform of Pittsburg Center Station. The initial report was that a male suspect shot a male victim and fled the scene. The victim was taken to an area hospital and remains in critical condition.

A few hours later a second male victim who had also been shot showed up at an area hospital. The second victim remains in stable condition with a wound to his leg. BART PD is working to determine a motive for the shooting. At this point, investigators believe the shooting was not random.

The incident forced the shutdown of Pittsburg Center Station for approximately 4 1/2 hours so investigators could gather evidence. Investigators are also reviewing surveillance video captured by platform cameras at the station. The station has now been reopened and normal service has been restored.
