Introducing BART's New Schedule Planner: Improved Connections and Extended Service Hours

Starting March 2022, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) will introduce a new schedule planner that marks a historic milestone - the first time in history, BART will operate 5-line service on Sundays. This change aims to improve connections between lines, extend service hours, and enhance overall travel experiences for riders.

For the first time, Sunday service will run from 8am to midnight, with only one day of single tracking in March. From February 20th onwards, BART will extend its Sunday service to midnight, replacing the previous 9pm closure. This change is a direct response to the pandemic, which has seen ridership decrease significantly.

Riders can expect improved connections on Sundays before 9pm with Caltrain at Millbrae, as well as a new transfer opportunity at Bay Fair for Dublin to Berryessa transfers every day. The Yellow line will also feature 15-minute even headways on Saturdays until about 8pm, making it easier to plan trips.

Additional Schedule Highlights

• 16 single-tracking Sundays in 2022 when 3-line service will be provided

• Consistent 3-line service every day after 9pm

• Run 5-line service every day (except for single-tracking Sundays) until about 9pm

• 4 trains an hour at SFO station on Sundays until 9pm

Tips for Riders

To plan your trip effectively, riders are encouraged to look up their specific trips using the Trip Planner. Some departure times may shift slightly due to the new schedule, so it's essential to check ahead of time.

Get Ready for Midnight Service Every Night

With this new schedule change, BART will operate midnight service every night of the week. Whether you're commuting to work or enjoying a weekend outing, you'll have more options and flexibility than ever before.

The new schedule has been loaded into the Trip Planner, and PDF timetables will be available soon. For more information on BART's schedule planner, visit their official website or consult with a staff member at any of their stations.
