Overview
- The new timetable went into effect Monday and adjusts departure times across nearly the entire system, so most trains are shifted by a few minutes and riders should check updated schedules before travelling.
- Daly City has been reconfigured as a center‑platform end‑of‑line yard to separate trains leaving service from boarding trains and to remove a longtime congestion choke point that sent disruptions through the network.
- Yellow and Red line trains will now run on 10‑minute headways while Blue and Green lines will run on roughly 8‑ and 12‑minute spacing, replacing the prior uneven 5/15 and 3/17 minute gaps.
- Key transfer patterns were changed to simplify connections, with Bay Fair moved to a cross‑platform transfer and MacArthur given a four‑minute transfer window, though some platforms and minute‑level transfer times have shifted.
- BART says the plan trades irregular short and long gaps for steadier spacing to cut bunching and long waits, but some riders may see longer or shorter waits on individual trips and should use the BART app or website for current times.
