BART to Run Late Night Trains for Halloween + Outside Lands

In anticipation of what is likely to be a high-ridership weekend BART will be offering some level of extended late-night service on Sunday, October 31, 2021, beyond 9pm. Staff is still working out details of the service plan and they will post the information here in the coming days.

Late night service will be a huge benefit for those who will be celebrating Halloween or attending the final day of the Outside Lands concert in San Francisco. BART will work with Outside Lands organizers to share service information with ticketholders as it is finalized.

BART will run midnight service on Friday and Saturday.

Parking is free at BART parking lots on weekends except for the Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations, which are not operated by BART.

Background on midnight service and why we currently close at 9pm on Sundays

BART has been offering service until midnight Monday through Saturday since August 2, but those extended hours have not been in place on Sundays. BART has already committed to bringing midnight service back to Sundays permanently in February 2022.

BART service has been operating only until 9 pm on Sundays throughout the pandemic. BART has used the earlier closing time on Sundays to advance critical rebuilding projects including the replacement of traction power cables in the heart of downtown San Francisco to ensure trains have a reliable source of electricity.

BART’s ridership has been on an upward trajectory for months despite the impacts of the Delta variant and some of the sharpest increases have occurred on weekends as more people in the Bay Area use BART to attend concerts, games, and other events.
