Plan BART trips with train maps, departure countdowns, timetables, fares, and service alerts in one app. Built for Bay Area commuters and occasional riders, BART Schedule & Tracker by Delayta covers the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue lines plus the Oakland Airport connector, across all 50 stations. PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP • Find direct trains between stations • See reported train locations and schedule-based estimates on a track-following map • Browse timetables by line, direction, and service day • Check departure countdowns, trip duration, stop-by-stop details, and fares • View real-time delays and service alerts when available • Choose which BART lines appear on the map and timetable • Find your closest station and view walking directions • Save Home and Work for faster commute planning • Choose 12- or 24-hour time SCHEDULES THAT STAY CURRENT A full timetable ships inside the app, so schedule browsing and trip planning work offline. The app checks for newer BART schedules on launch and installs them automatically. Settings shows the schedule source and publication date. FREE WITH OPTIONAL TIPS No account, ads, subscription, or paywall. Three optional one-time tips support development without unlocking or restricting features. Map positions combine reported vehicle locations with schedule-based estimates; not every train has a live GPS report. Real-time updates, alerts, walking directions, and schedule refreshes require a network connection and may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. Fares use published BART distance-based Clipper adult fare data. Schedule data provided by BART. Real-time data provided by 511.org. BART Schedule & Tracker is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, or 511.org.
