Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin the week of August 11th at Fruitvale Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at West Oakland Station.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Fruitvale Station.  Both gates are located next to the Station Agent Booth, one on each side. When facing the booth from the non-paid area of the station, the fare gate to your right is used to enter the station and the fare gate to your left is used to exit. The gates will work for both directions if needed to clear a line of riders.

Additionally, a carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each fare gate, to make these two gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. The removal of the old gates and installation of the new gates will not impact train service. 

All 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. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin January 3 at South Hayward Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

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 at our project page.

New temporary directional signs were installed this week at the concourse and street levels of Powell Street Station to determine if they better help guide riders to BART and Muni services. The signs include new standardized modal icons and prominently feature the BART line colors. 

Powell St. Station was selected because of its complex nature: it has three underground levels and provides connections to BART and Muni Metro trains (including the T-third rail line), buses, Muni’s historic streetcars, and cable cars.

These signs are part of a Bay Area-wide test of the Regional Mapping and Wayfinding Project. 

The goal of the project is to unify maps and signs throughout the region, so it is easier for public transit riders to get where they need to go throughout the Bay Area. 

Other test transit maps and signs were previously installed at El Cerrito del Norte Station. They are to deliver information that is clear, predictable, and familiar across service areas and county lines. The new bus stop signs and suite of maps focuses on service frequency and uses standardized colors, line styles, and labels on maps and signs to indicate how often a bus, train or ferry arrives at a particular stop.
