Clicking on a route, will show a list of all stations served by the selected route. The trip planner will provide a trip list, based on either the intended departure date/time or the intended arrival date/time. A wireless connection is required to use most features, as most data is updated in real-time. The BART station list, however once retrieved is available for offline use, this includes the interactive map and tabular station list.
