On Thursday, July 18, BART will begin replacing the existing fare gates on the concourse level of Civic Center Station with new Next Generation Fare Gates.

The work at Civic Center will happen at the array, or set of gates, closest to Seventh Street entrance on the north end of the concourse level of the station (Array 1 in the map). A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Installing this new array is expected to take several weeks to complete. The station’s other two fare gate arrays (Array 2 and Array3) will remain open during the installation work. 

Once the new array is installed, BART will move forward with replacing all remaining old fare gates at Civic Center Station, one array at a time.  In April, crews successfully installed a new fare gate at the elevator entrance on the Civic Center Station platform.

Get more details on Next Generation Fare Gates at our project page. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.

Pittsburg Center Station recently had new Next Generation Fare Gates installed at the station, which required a slight shift in the positioning of the faregates compared to their previous location. As a result, the tactile guideway for blind and low vision riders also needs to be shifted.

In the interim, when entering the station, blind and low vision passengers should follow the carpet just north of the tactile guideway to lead you through the new accessible faregate. When exiting the station, follow the yellow directional bar tile pathway until you come across a carpet, at which point you will follow the carpet to the right, which leads directly through the wider, accessible faregate to exit the station.

 The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 22 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.

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin September 20th at Antioch Station. The installation process is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at Civic Center, Fruitvale, Richmond, and West Oakland stations.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Antioch Station.  Both gates will be placed in front of the Station Agent Booth and will route riders through the existing service gate. Additionally, 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 prototypes 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.

BART crews will perform rail replacement work in the Transbay Tube over the weekend of October 18-19, requiring late night and morning single tracking and temporary service adjustments.

BART's Trip Planner has been updated to include the special schedule and help people plan their trips.

Saturday night, October 18:

Trains will single track through the Transbay Tube beginning around 12:30 am, with delays of 10-15 minutes expected. 

Sunday morning, October 19:

Single tracking will continue from start of service at about 8 am to 10:30 am. During this time, BART will operate a three-line, 30-minute schedule to all stations to mitigate delays. There will be no Red or Green Line service until 10:30 am which means some riders will need to take an Orange line train and transfer to complete their trip. Normal 20-minute, 5-line service will resume at 10:30 am on Sunday.

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.

Find guidance on getting to Super Bowl LX events at bart.gov/superbowl.
