BART service between the Embarcadero and West Oakland stations will be closed for two upcoming weekends, August 1-2, and September 5-7, for repairs to improve track safety. A lifeline bus bridge will be in place for riders with no other options, but BART is encouraging travelers to find alternative means of transportation.

From BART:

During the shutdowns, customers are encouraged to use other public transit transbay options such as ferries and AC Transit service. Check out www.511.org for trip planning. San Francisco Bay Ferry will have additional service on its Alameda/Oakland/San Francisco and Vallejo/San Francisco routes during the BART closures. AC Transit also has its transbay service.

During the shutdowns, train service within the East Bay and within the West Bay and the Peninsula will be more frequent than during a typical weekend. Check out our tips page for more specific details.
