Better Live Updates with multiple listing of incoming trains

When viewing train times for any station, there should be 4-5 upcoming trains listed instead of just 2. This would help riders better time their arrival, especially if they’re not sure they’ll make the next train or two.

For example, at Bay Fair station, only 2 incoming trains are currently shown, both heading from Berryessa to Richmond and SF. But a train from Pleasanton to SF is arriving soon (within a few minutes) and isn’t shown at all. Showing more listings would prevent riders from missing trains that are actually coming up soon

Service experience

Since 2026 a noticeable improvements in safety, cleanliness, and over all safety. This makes my commute a safe and comfortable trip well worth the fees and not having to worry about traffic

Holy moly this is bad

Way too many dang steps to pay for parking. I have cash in my pocket, why do I need like seven accounts?

Legalized Robbery

1000 parking spaces and no more than half are ever filled yet you want to charge people for parking and make it that much more difficult for non-bart riders. We have to download this app to upload our card to pay you daily. If we forget there is a $55 fee; for each day we did not pay the $3.50. But we live in capitalist country so I’m not surprised and work hard so that I’m well prepared. I’m writing this because even though free parking hours are 330pm-5am you have YET to FIX your APP and the non-bart parking fee is only open between 315am-530am. So in order to comply we have to wake up at 3 in the morning just to give you $3 daily…… for a lot that is always half empty; even when shared with an apt complex. Solutions would be to allow payment 24/7, allow paying a full week/month in advance (discounted), or not charging for the furthest end of your lot unless it’s peak season.

Usually works

I use this app just about every day. Reserving parking can be a pain and is relatively buggy, eg when trying to book for a station that’s not nearest your location, entire forms reset if you change specific fields, etc. But, I can usually get what I need with some work. Just don’t change the date before choosing a station.

Emeryville screwy Aug 7, 8

Had been useful. Starting Aug 7 trip planner totally screwy. Ignores hours.

Parking reservations are a little broken

I'm using iOS

1. Start a multi-day parking reservation
2. Pick a station and pick dates
3. Switch apps to check your calendar to make sure the dates are right
4. Switch back. All your progress has been cleared!

I really like it!

Precise schedule, easy to pay for parking, don’t need to use parking machines at stations and waste time on putting in all data

Fav

The apps need to have better view of 2-3 stations in one page. I choose few stations as favorite but the next day it is back to only one station on my list. It did not save my option.

Worst public transit service

Delays delays delays. Gross disgusting stations, escalators offline everywhere. All this and it is super expensive to ride this garbage system. Fares always going up, but what are the costs associated with 20 year old trains and tracks tha have not been upgraded in decades

my experience

when I first started riding

Review

Great App! I use it daily for my work commute.

时间表

我是每天都要搭地铁🚇上下班的,是你们公司的拥护支持者,但我个人认为,最好安排通勤时间合理(尤其星期日),我一早回到公司几乎都迟点打卡。第一班车应该提前一些,谢谢,希望公司的业绩越来越好!世界不断进步和发展,希望公司也能向前发展,为人民服务!

Not understandable

Many of the station entrances on Market Street are locked at some time during the night. This app sends you to those stations but you can’t enter. Useless. I missed my train.

A bit confusing

Paying for parking takes steps to ensure that you have the right station pass etc. but this ap is quick to take your payment. Safeguards should be put in place.

Great

Sonia kicked me off from silicon valley on June 2nd Sonia said I cannot keep you anymore as Ishaan has his grade 12 crushal teacher told me that he has to come to the school his grades are low

Delays & dirt

BART has to be the single most inefficient and inept subway system I have been a passenger on. I a world traveler and the filth at SF stations is shocking, the inefficient seating configuration on trains is ridiculous and the frequent delays all contribute to my one star review. I have been riding BART since the 1970’s. The fact BART can balance a budget is more evidence of a tone from the top problem that trickles down to every corner of this horribly run system. The potential is there, it has always existed it’s way overdue for executive management to DO BETTER!

Customer Service

The app was very easy to use and Customer Service was excellent

I love this app

Use it every day

Compare to other Transit System Maps

This app is a sad comparison to that of the world's best, the map and app for the London Metro.
