BART will begin the installation of next generation fare gates on the concourse level of Embarcadero Station beginning Wednesday, the agency announced.
All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here. MTC is a funding partner on the project.
The Embarcadero Station work will happen in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining current gates while new ones are being installed. There will be additional BART staff as well as signage to direct riders to the open gates. Installing each new array is expected to take up to two weeks to complete.
Installation of new fare gates at South Hayward Station is underway. The work is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. The work at both locations will not impact train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.
The new fare gates bring a new look and improved experience, offering state-of-the-art technology that will boost safety by reducing fare evasion, enhancing access for people in wheelchairs and those who bring bikes and strollers on BART, and optimizing the reliability and maintenance needs of the fare gates.
