Question

How do I know which train to get on?

Community Answer

On the announcement board, there will be different routes you can ride. Look on the map and check which route you want to take. That is the only way to figure out the train - there is no train number.

Question

What does "2-door" mean?

Hugo Billiau

Community Answer

2-door trains are the current fleet of trains operating on the BART. They are called 2-door trains because they have 2 sets of doors on either side of the train. Newer trains, planned to come 2023, will have 3 sets of doors to improve the number of passengers able to get on.

Question

Are emotional support animals allowed on BART?

Hugo Billiau

Community Answer

Yes, because of the Americans with Disabilities Act, emotional service animals are allowed. "Service animals must be on leash or harness. For additional accessibility accommodations please contact the Customer Access and Accessibility Department." However, you may bring a non-emotional support pet as long as it is in a carrier designed for travel.

How do I know if there are parking fees on Sunday for the BART?

Aasim

Top Answerer

You can check BART's website for information on parking fees. Parking must be paid for to the station attendant or parking machine before you enter the train station if you do not want to be towed or booted.
