📢News: BART’s schedule will change on August 10, 2026, with longer trains and big improvements and efficiencies that will reduce delays and crowding! Longer trains will actually come to the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green lines during peak commute hours starting July 20! Thread 👇

By making a change in how trains travel through Daly City Station and operating it as a center platform station, service will be improved throughout the system with more even headways, better transfers, and less train congestion.

With these improvements, some departure times will shift by a few minutes, and we encourage riders to check the schedule before August 10, 2026, to see if their trip is impacted. Read more here: bart.gov/news/article... Or keep reading the thread for more info 👇

Beginning Monday, July 20, BART will begin to run some longer trains on the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green lines during peak commute hours with some shorter trains running during non-peak hours and on the Orange Line.

For the Red Line, peak period will have 10-car trains (currently 8-and 6-cars) with 5-car trains during non-peak (currently 6-cars). For the Yellow Line, 8 of the busiest morning trains and six of the busiest afternoon trains will be increased to 10-cars during peak periods (currently 9-cars).

For the Blue Line, one additional afternoon Blue Line train toward the East Bay will be 8-cars in length (currently four trains run as 8-cars and the rest are 6-cars).

For the Orange Line, four trains will run as 5-cars and the rest will remain 6-cars.

Trains will be more evenly spaced apart for Richmond-bound riders coming from San Francisco, which means wait times will be reduced and trains will have less crowding. Yellow Line and Red Line trains will be spaced 10 minutes apart instead of 5 and 15 minutes today.
