New BART schedule changes took effect Monday, bringing adjustments that could shorten wait times for riders across the system.<\/p>\n
The biggest changes are at the Daly City station, where BART has changed how trains use the station’s three platforms.<\/p>\n
BART spokesperson Chris Filippi said the station is essentially being converted into a single-platform operation, allowing riders to use one platform for all trains.<\/p>\n
“We’re turning this essentially into a single platform station, which means riders just go to one platform for all of the trains,” Filippi said. “It simplifies things and, more importantly, eases a bottleneck in the system.”<\/p>\n
BART officials said the changes will improve train spacing throughout the system, reducing the amount of time riders have to wait if they miss a train.<\/p>\n
Fillipi encouraged riders to check the BART app or website before traveling because train departure times have shifted by a few minutes.<\/p>\n
“We’re really advising our riders to go to our app or website and get the latest information,” he said. “They will see their train times will have changed by a couple minutes, so we want them to be prepared for that.”<\/p>\n
In addition to Daly City, riders transferring at MacArthur and Bay Fair stations will also see schedule changes and are encouraged to pay close attention to the updated train times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New BART schedule changes took effect Monday, bringing adjustments that could shorten wait times for riders across the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[3767,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-429435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-bart","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
