Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin Friday, October 4th at 16th Street Mission 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 24th Street Mission, Civic Center, Fruitvale, Oakland International Airport, 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 16th Street Mission 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 left is used to enter the station and the fare gate to your right is used to exit. 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 the week of October 27th at Coliseum 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 eight stations across the system including Fruitvale and West Oakland.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Coliseum Station.  Both temporary gates are located next to the Station Agent Booth. 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. 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, but riders may experience a few minutes wait to pass through the temporary gates during peak travel hours.

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. 

On the morning of Wednesday, January 29, BART did not have train service between Union City and Bay Fair stations due to an equipment problem on the trackway.  We deeply apologize for this disruption.

In an effort to improve communication during disruptions we are asking impacted riders to take this survey by Monday, February 3, 2025, at 5pm: bart.gov/delays.
