Now that Taylor Waddell has earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, he is rapidly working toward his doctorate in the field of BART-themed Halloween costume studies. We are ready to bestow a diploma on this postdoc, posthaste.

We have seen photos Waddell's previous Halloween BART fare gate costume floating around on social media since he debuted it in 2024. Then we ran into him at BART Prom earlier this year and heard he was toying with the idea of turning our new fare gates into a costume!

We couldn't wait to see what Waddell cooked up, and he delivered. Watch the video now and tag us in your own posts featuring BART-themed costumes. Don't worry if they don't have the same bells and whistles -- it's about sharing your love of transit and introducing a bit of whimsy into Spooky Season.

Crews will be installing new fiber optic cable tonight between Pleasant Hill and Concord stations. The work will start just before midnight and continue overnight until it concludes before the normal start of BART service the next morning. Starting at midnight, riders should expect delays of 10-15 minutes

Reminder: Trains will share one track between San Leandro and Bay Fair today. Riders in the area should expect 25–30-minute delays. There will be no Green Line service for the entire day but we will continue to provide service to all 50 stations. xitter.cf/SFBART/status/21137389…

Service will be reduced from two tracks to one this Sunday, October 25 between San Leandro and Bay Fair stations so crews in the trackway can manage vegetation that could affect our ability to offer safe and reliable service. The work will start before we begin service and continue until 6pm.

East Bay riders who would typically use the Green Line can instead use the Orange Line and transfer at Bay Fair to a Blue Line train to travel transbay.

San Francisco riders can take the Blue Line and transfer to the Orange Line at Bay Fair. Orange and Blue line trains will be extended in length from six to eight cars throughout the day to provide additional capacity for riders who typically use the Green Line.

Watch BART crews install this new diamond junction in a weekend. This was part of a larger effort to replace a vital interlocking between Union City and Fremont stations that was nearing the end of its lifespan.

This is the first in a multi-phase Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) that will ultimately transform approximately 6.5 acres of underutilized BART parking lots into 743 new apartments. xitter.cf/SFBART/status/20706330…

There is still more work to do before people can move in to the Transit-Oriented Development at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station but construction has been zooming along this year thanks to its modular construction! It took less than 3 weeks to install all the housing units.

El Cerrito Plaza is one of several major TOD projects that BART is advancing across its system, designed to generate ridership and contribute to the agency’s long-term financial sustainability, strengthen local economies, and provide equitable access to opportunity. xitter.cf/SFBART/status/20706555…
