Hi Mooviters,
This Monday, January 13th, 2025, BART will make schedule changes to accommodate construction to modernize BART’s train control system.
The schedule change is happening in coordination with the region’s other transit systems as part of a collective effort to sync schedules, reduce impacts, and improve transfers for transit riders in the Bay Area.
What can you expect?
Minor Adjustments:
Departure times will shift by a few minutes. Please check schedules for after January 13th in the Moovit App or on BART’s website.
Yellow Line will terminate as SFO nightly from 9 PM:
Due to nightly construction, starting at 9 PM, between Colma and Millbrae, Yellow Line service will terminate nightly at SFO instead of Millbrae.
Shuttle train between Millbrae and SFO nightly from 9 PM:
After 9pm, Millbrae station will be served by a train that will run every 15 minutes between Millbrae and SFO only and riders will have an easy cross platform transfer at SFO to board a Yellow Line train to finish their trip.
At Millbrae, two of the four trains each hour will be timed with Caltrain’s 30-minute service schedule to provide a good transfer between Caltrain and BART.
As previously noted, after Red Line service ends each night, Yellow Line trains will terminate at SFO instead of Millbrae. Once at SFO, riders heading to Millbrae will cross the platform to board the Millbrae train, it will be labeled as a Yellow Line train to Millbrae.
However, after midnight, the final four Yellow Line trains to SFO station will proceed to Millbrae (riders will not need to transfer for Millbrae service), similar to the current schedule. The final train of the evening will bypass SFO, as it always does, and go straight to Millbrae. This is consistent with the current schedule.
These late evening changes will be displayed in the PDF timetable and in the Trip Planner to guide riders. And the official BART system map online, and posted at stations, will indicate a change in trains is necessary between 9pm-midnight.
This nightly service plan for Millbrae riders is expected to last several years as BART has prioritized this section of track to be the first area to bring on Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) in the BART system.
