Unlimited bus and tram travel on weekends during summer 2026 will cost the price of a single fare to boost ridership amid slower journeys.
If the proposed measure fails, BART is considering widespread cuts in 2027 that would include laying off 1,200 employees, closing 10 to 15 stations, raising fares and parking fees by up to 50%, cutting train lines and reducing train hours. The West Dublin-Pleasanton station, which Moore takes to Oakland at least four times a week, is one BART could shutter as it grapples with a $376 million deficit.
The transit agency estimated a ridership count of roughly 23.7 million last month on its bus and rail systems - a 13.5% drop from May and the lowest June on record since 2022, when numbers had started to rebound since the pandemic emergency.
