On January 10, BART will begin the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates on the concourse level of Embarcadero Station. The installation work will happen in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining current gates while new ones are being installed. There will be additional BART staff as well as signage to direct riders to the open gates. Installing each new array is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. 

A temporary barrier will be installed around each array when it is replaced to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. The work will not impact train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 15 other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here.

Smiles even bigger than the BARTmobile's famous grin shone from hundreds of faces on Saturday, July 27, when BART hosted a twentieth birthday party for the Bay's beloved transit mascot at Orinda Station. There was face painting, music, carnival games, kettle corn, cupcakes, and lots and lots of BARTmobile rides. 

It's a rare ocassion that the BARTmobile bestows the privilege of a ride to non-BART employees, and BARTy fans of all ages seized their chance to take a short spin in the vehicle (which is actually a long golf cart with a custom "skin" over it). 

In all, the BARTmobile gave 70 rides during the party, traveling more than 11 miles in just three hours. More than 370 people got a ride, including BART boardmembers Mark Foley (vice president of the board), Rebecca Saltzman, and Melissa Hernandez, who came out to toast the mascot. 

At the end of the party, BARTy's handlers, Ricky and Angel, packed him up and put him to bed at the Oakland shops for some much needed rest. 

Enjoy snapshots from the day in the slideshow and stay tuned for more BART events this summer.
