Wear your favorite jersey on transit for Jersey Day on Tuesday, Feb. 3
On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Bay Area transit agencies and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission are encouraging riders to wear their favorite jersey on transit to celebrate transit’s role in getting fans to Super Bowl LX-related events. February 3 marks the first day of the Super Bowl Experience at Moscone Center and BAHC! Live San Francisco Fan Zone at Yerba Buena Gardens, both just a short walk from Powell St. Station.
BART and other agencies will have staff handing out prizes to those spotted wearing a jersey during their ride, while supplies last. Any sports jersey counts!
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is hosting the championship game on Sunday, Feb. 8, and transit is a great way to get to the stadium and other events. BART will run longer trains and have extra staff and security to help get fans and families to events. Special announcements will be made onboard trains about where to exit and special directional signs will be posted inside stations to help new riders.
