BART running longer trains this weekend for Fleet Week in San Francisco

BART is welcoming Fleet Week by offering longer and more frequent trains at night and on weekends throughout the festivities. This is the first Fleet Week that will benefit from BART’s reimagined schedule that was launched last month. Now riders will wait no more than 20 minutes on a station platform for a scheduled train. We are using only Fleet of the Future trains to fulfill our basic service plan so riders will enjoy a cleaner and safer BART experience. Many lines that have been served by 6-car trains will instead feature 8-car trains as we expand our capacity for riders going to Fleet Week. 

Check out our BARTable guide to SF Fleet Week.

Add Clipper to your digital wallet now

If you need a new Clipper card, save time and $3 by adding a Clipper card to your iPhone, Android phone or Apple Watch before you go. BART is encouraging riders to use  Apple Pay or Google Pay instead of purchasing a new Clipper card because global supply chain issues have depleted the inventory of plastic cards. Setting up a new Clipper card in your digital wallet is free (normally $3) and the cash value is immediately available for use. You can add funds at any point of your trip. Just open your digital wallet and follow the directions to create a Clipper card in your wallet.

Free weekend parking

Riders can take advantage of plenty of available parking at many BART stations. Parking is free at BART after 3pm on weekdays and throughout weekends. The only exceptions are the new Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations, whose parking lots are operated by VTA.
