Overview

  • Riders can now plan and pay for short Uber trips within the BART app, with the app displaying total door‑to‑door trip time.
  • The promotion offers $5 off Uber rides that start or end at participating stations, usable up to six times over seven days.
  • The discounted stations are Antioch, Bay Fair, Concord, Daly City, Fruitvale, Lake Merritt, MacArthur, Richmond, Walnut Creek and West Oakland.
  • BART has set aside $50,000 to subsidize the discounts, which the agency expects to run through the end of the month.
  • BART’s Bob Powers says the partnership aims to attract riders and expand access as the agency pursues housing at station parking lots, while Uber cites benefits for underserved areas.
