Saturday, Oct. 12: View garments created from retired paper tickets at BART’s headquarters for Oakland Style Week

On Saturday, Oct. 12, BART will display a selection of garments created from retired paper tickets at BART Headquarters as part of Oakland Style Week. The outfits were created for BART’s Project Doneway fashion show, presented at Rockridge Station on September 14. 

The unique garments were designed by fashion students from Oakland School for the Arts, Academy of Art University, San Francisco State University, and City College of San Francisco. The students created their looks using more than 150,000 paper tickets collectively. BART retired the iconic tickets in 2023, and the fashion show provided an opportunity to reuse what would otherwise be shredded and recycled. Read more about Project Doneway and watch the show here.

BART invites the public to view the outfits on Saturday from noon to 5pm at our headquarters: 2150 Webster St., Oakland, just a few blocks from 19th St Oakland Station. The garments will be displayed in the front windows of the building on either side of the main entry doors, located at the top of the steps. There is an ADA-accessible ramp.  

Members of the public will not be able to enter the building, which is accessible only by key card on weekends and monitored by security. We ask that you please respect BART staff entering and exiting the building.
