No BART Trains Between Richmond, El Cerrito Stations This Weekend
BART trains will not be traveling between Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte stations over the weekend due to ongoing track work.
EL CERRITO, CA — BART trains will not be traveling between Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte stations this weekend due to ongoing track work at the Richmond station.
Free AC Transit shuttles are connecting the two stations on Saturday and Sunday, departing every 15 minutes. Riders who take the bus option should plan to add 15-20 minutes to their trips, BART officials said.
Riders can avoid delays by going directly to El Cerrito del Norte instead of Richmond Station. On Sunday, BART is running a 3-line service, with only the Richmond-Berryessa (Orange) line connecting at El Cerrito del Norte.
