BART will run trains 24 hours/day from the start of service this Wednesday morning at 4 am thru and including Monday night until midnight. Trains will stop running from midnight Monday night until 4 am. Tuesday morning so crews can prepare the system for the Tuesday morning commute.

While the Bay Bridge is closed, BART will continue to operate trains on their normal schedules from all of BART’s 44 stations during the agency’s regular service hours. On Labor Day, however, BART will operate on a Saturday schedule.
During regular service hours, BART will increase its passenger capacity by running longer trains all day and will adjust train service to match the needs of weekend events, including A’s home games, Cal Bears football and America’s Cup finals.
