BART will add more than two dozen trips to its busiest routes next week as the agency’s ridership continues to creep up from its pandemic-induced losses.
BART will add 26 trips on the Monday-Friday schedule on the Yellow (Antioch-San Francisco International Airport), Green (Berryessa-Daly City) and Red (Richmond-Millbrae and SFO) lines. The additional trips will enable trains to run in Oakland between 4 and 15 minutes apart during peak hours.
The additional trips will support the morning and evening commute windows. According to BART, ridership data has showed a need for increased service during those periods to prevent crowding.
The agency will also keep 30-minute train frequencies on the Blue (Dublin/Pleasanton-Daly City) line until Aug. 30, when service is expected to be made more frequent.
BART will also add 16 trips on Saturdays, most of which will serve the Yellow line between Pleasant Hill and Daly City.
According to BART ridership data, Saturday ridership has recovered at a faster pace than weekday ridership as many offices based in Oakland and San Francisco remain closed or allow employees to work from home.
On Aug. 30, BART plans to expand weekday and Saturday service closer to pre-pandemic levels, running trains until midnight instead of 9 p.m. and increasing train frequency during both peak and off-peak hours.

Um ok but what about D-Day?
77 years ago the bravest among us helped to literally save the 🌎..

Literally saving the world would mean something like stopping an asteroid from hitting the planet, not armies defeating other armies.
Words are important.
I’d rather find a new job and ditch that horribly expensive and miserable commute. 😁. Hope to keep WFH but just don’t feel safe on BART since Wilson sisters stabbing.
Are they going todo anything to keep the extra cars cleaner?
When the topic of BART comes up in conversation with our friends, the term “disgusting” comes up a lot.
Pity… BART was once a point of pride for the Bay Area.
