Article Source: BART

BART is launching the free official BART app on both iOS App Store and Google Play Store to provide riders with a seamless experience in our stations and on our trains. The BART app will provide comprehensive information and navigation into one unified platform with personalized preferences.


The official BART app offers riders end-to-end trip planning, real-time departures with data straight from BART, service advisories, and the ability to save your favorite trips and stations. An exclusive feature to the app is BART’s new Trip Planner offering end-to-end multi-modal trip itineraries. It allows BART riders, public transit users, and those who walk, bike or drive to our stations to plug in their starting point and destination to get the most transit-friendly and fastest route. The new Trip Planner includes 31 transit operators and provides interactive, personalized itineraries using the many modes of transportation and transit the Bay Area offers.
