After midnight on Sunday, June 1, BART workers will need to enter the trackway to replace aging rail between Downtown Berkeley and El Cerrito del Norte stations. To ensure the work can be done safely, service through the project area will be reduced from two tracks to one between those two stations. Riders in the area should expect delays of 35-45 minutes. The work will begin at 12:30am early Sunday morning and will affect only the last few trains of our late-night service. No delays are anticipated from this work when BART begins its normal Sunday service at 8am.

Bus Bridge and Green Line Cancellation Alert: Free buses replace trains between Union City and Warm Springs/South Fremont May 11-12.
BART crews will be in the trackway between Union City and Warm Springs/South Fremont stations replacing aging equipment as well as managing vegetation that could impact service. To ensure a safe workspace for the team, there will be no train service between Union City and Warm Springs/South Fremont on Saturday May 11 and Sunday May 12. Instead, free buses provided by AC Transit will move riders between the Union City, Fremont, and Warm Springs/South Fremont stations. Riders can expect delays ranging from 20 to 40 minutes on the shutdown weekend of 5/11-12. The work will also require us to shut down the Green Line for the weekend.
The bus bridge will feature direct service between Union City and Warm Springs/South Fremont as well as hopper service that will also stop at Fremont Station. Fremont Station will offer no train service but will remain open for buses.
There will be a train shuttle service between Warm Springs/South Fremont and Berryessa/North San Jose. Northbound departure times will be adjusted ten minutes earlier. The last two evening trips from Berryessa/North San Jose normally scheduled for 11:36pm and 11:49pm will be cancelled. Riders should instead use the train that departs at 11:26pm. Northbound trains from Union City will be shifted six minutes earlier than the current schedule at Union City, South Hayward, and Hayward stations. Riders headed for San Francisco should plan to transfer to a Blue Line train at Bay Fair Station.
This upcoming work is part of BART’s overall effort to improve safety and reliability of the 131-mile, 50 station system. There are now more rebuilding projects happening across BART than at any point in its 50-year history. You can learn more about the progress of this work by reading the 2023 Measure RR Annual Report published by the independent Measure RR Bond Oversight Committee.

Parking rate changes effective January 1, 2026
Starting January 1, 2026, BART parking rates will be changing to reflect inflation and demand-based adjustments, in line with BART’s Parking Pricing Policy.
- Daily Fee Parking: Rates will increase by 40 cents at most stations for inflation. At high-demand stations (Glen Park, MacArthur, Rockridge, and Walnut Creek), rates will increase by 30% per policy.
- Reserved Parking (Monthly and Single/Multi-day): Prices will increase at three high-demand stations (Millbrae, San Bruno, and Walnut Creek). Prices will decrease at nine lower-demand stations (Colma, Concord, El Cerrito del Norte, Dublin/Pleasanton, Fremont, Pittsburg/Bay Point, Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre, South San Francisco, and West Dublin/Pleasanton). Seven stations (Bay Fair, Coliseum, Hayward, North Concord/Martinez, Richmond, South Hayward, and Warm Springs/South Fremont) will have small increases due to inflation.
All transactions made on or after January 1, 2026, will reflect the new prices. Any reservations (Single/Multi-Day or Monthly Reserved) made before January 1, 2026, regardless of reservation dates, will reflect the price at time of purchase. Current monthly parking holders’ reservations will be renewed on January 15 for February and will be charged at the new prices.
BART’s current funding model heavily relies on fares and parking fees to run service and provide maintenance and police patrols in our parking areas. BART fares will also increase 6.2% on January 1, 2026, to keep pace with inflation so the agency is able to pay for continued operations and to work toward restoring financial stability.
Fares will increase 6.2 % on New Year’s Day based upon actual inflation in 2023 and 2024.
BART currently offers a 50% fare discount to qualifying low-income riders through the Clipper Start program. Visit Discounts | Bay Area Rapid Transit to learn more about additional fare discounts available. Parking discounts/commuter benefits may also be available through your employer.
Pay for parking on the official BART app, online or at machines inside stations with debit, credit or cash. Additional parking questions? Please visit BART’s Parking Overview Page or our FAQs.

Entrance Alert: Escalators at North end of Embarcadero out of service
Both escalators at the North end (nearest the Ferry Building) at Embarcadero Station are out of service, one for unscheduled maintenance and the other for a planned replacement. Stairs remain open at Drumm and Market (near the cable car turnaround). The station has three other escalators connecting the concourse to the street, as well as an elevator.
The escalator near Drumm Street suffered a major mechanical breakdown in mid-March. The unit is expected to be repaired and back in service by the end of April.
Meantime, crews are working to install a new, more reliable escalator at the North entrance on the other side of Market Street. It's one of 22 street level escalators BART is replacing along with 18 concourse to platform units as the single largest project for escalator replacement in BART history.
Single Tracking Alert: Service reduced to one track at midnight on Thursday, March 5 between Coliseum and Bay Fair stations for track work
(3/5/2026 Update) The work that had been planned for March 4th was postponed to Thursday, March 5. Riders should expect delays of 15-20 minutes starting at midnight tonight in the work area. The work is expected to be complete in time for the start of regular Friday morning service.
Service will be reduced from two tracks to one starting at midnight on Wednesday, March 4 between Coliseum and Bay Fair stations so BART crews can replace a component of one of our interlockings. Interlockings are essential parts of the BART system that allow trains to safely move from line to line. Riders should expect delays of 15-20 minutes from midnight until the normal end of service overnight. The work is expected to be completed in time for the start of regular Thursday morning service.
Bus Bridge and Green Line Cancellation Alert: Free buses replace trains between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City stations June 1-2
On the weekend of June 1-2, BART crews will be making trackway improvements and managing vegetation that could impact service between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City stations. To ensure a safe workspace for the project team, free buses will replace trains from 24th Street/Mission to Daly City. Riders can expect delays of up to 30 minutes on the work weekend.
Key service impacts the weekend of June 1-2:
*Green Line service cancelled.
*No Red Line service from Millbrae to Daly City. Yellow Line trains will serve that portion of the system with 20-minute headways all weekend.
*Yellow, Blue, and Red lines will turnback at 24th Street/Mission Station.
*SamTrans providing direct bus service between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City.
*Muni providing hopper bus service between 24th Street/Mission, Glen Park, Balboa, and Daly City stations.
*Glen Park and Balboa Park stations to be closed except for bus service.
*The last regularly scheduled northbound departure from Millbrae to Daly City will be cancelled. The last northbound departure from Millbrae will be at 11:40pm and SFO at 11:47pm
The work team will make the most of its time in the closed trackway. Crews will replace aging rail, install new equipment to support the traction power system, enhance tunnel lighting, and advance other key improvements. The equipment being replaced is decades old and has outlived its design life. Riders will enjoy a smoother, safer, more reliable, and quieter ride once the projects are complete.
This upcoming work is part of BART’s overall effort to improve the safety and reliability of the 131-mile, 50 station system. There are now more rebuilding projects happening across BART than at any point in its 50-year history. You can learn more about the progress of this work by reading the 2023 Measure RR Annual Report published by the independent Measure RR Bond Oversight Committee.

The surface parking lot on the eastside of Bay Fair Station will be repaved in phases from Monday, July 15, 2024 to Friday, August 9, 2024. Daily Fee parking will still be available for customers (see map).
Phase 1 work will begin Monday, July 15, 2024 and is expected to be complete by Friday, July 25, 2024.
Phase 2 work will begin on Monday, July 29, 2024 and is expected to be complete by Friday, August 9, 2024.
Repaving work will also take place on two consecutive weekends. Crews will close the existing reserve parking lot and the adjacent access road to repair existing pavement on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28, 2024. The parking lot is expected to be reopened by Monday, July 29, 2024.
On Saturday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4, 2024 crews will close bus bay aisle A and the passenger drop off area. The bus bay and passenger drop off area will be reopened by Monday, August 5, 2024.
Temporary signage and traffic cones will be installed to guide riders to open parking spaces. At no time during this work will the entire parking lot be closed. Sidewalk and pedestrian access to the station will remain open during the construction.

Entrance Closure Alert: Market and Beale streets entrance at Embarcadero Station to close 9/5 for canopy work
On Tuesday, September 5th the Embarcadero Station entrance at Market and Beale streets will be closed for up to eight months to build a new canopy. The new canopy will protect our escalator at this entrance from the elements to help limit breakdowns.
While this entrance is closed, patrons will still be able to use one of the other entrances to the station, including the Market and Pine entrance across the street.
Over the next 4-5 years BART will construct 16 canopies on Market Street over downtown station entrances. As part of a separate project, new escalators will be installed at each of these locations following the canopy construction. In addition to protecting new escalators, the canopies will improve safety and reduce station maintenance costs.
We thank you for your patience as we work to complete this important construction project. For more information on this project visit: bart.gov/about/planning/sfentrances.
