Event Details

How to Get Across the Bay: BART Transbay Tube Closure

There will be no BART train service between San Francisco and East Bay on September 5-7, 2015.

BART will close the West Oakland Station and will not run trains between West Oakland and Embarcadero stations during Labor Day weekend while they repair a critical section of track near the Transbay Tube.

Funcheap will help you plan ahead and to find alternate means of transportation across the Bay during the upcoming closure of transbay train service.

How To Get Across the Bay
September 5-7, 2015 | From end of service Friday and all day on Saturday, Sunday and Monday

  • FREE – BART will partner with SamTrans offer free lifeline bus service replicating BART’s regular weekend scheduling between 19th Street in Oakland and the Temporary Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, but the buses are intended only for those who have no other options. The buses will carry customers from 19th Street Station in Oakland to the Temporary Transbay Terminal in San Francisco (a 2 block walk to the Embarcadero Station), or from there back to the East Bay. The bus bridge will cause 1 to 2 hour delays for some customers. Accommodations will be available for people with disabilities.
    Please Note: Monday, September 7 is Labor Day, so the bus will be operating on a BART Sunday schedule that day.
  • $6.40 – San Francisco Bay Ferry will have additional service on its Alameda/Oakland/San Francisco and Vallejo/San Francisco routes during the BART closures.
  • $4.20 – AC Transit also has its transbay service.
  • For all alternative transbay travel options during these weekends dial 511 or visit www.511.org.
