Catch some fast-paced, hard-hitting, action-packed ice hockey in the heart of downtown Oakland!

Take BART to 19th St Oakland to catch the Oakland Skates Ice Hockey inaugural game on Friday, Oct. 30.

Whether you’re a lifelong hockey fan or ready to take in your first game, grab your friends, bring the family, and get ready to root for your Oakland Skates. Home games are at the Oakland Ice Center (519 18th St.), so close to BART you’re practically on the bench!

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.
 
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. And 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 in the trackway on Sunday, October 25 between San Leandro and Bay Fair stations to 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. 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.

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.

On Monday, Secretary Xavier Becerra joined Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), BART Director Barnali Ghosh and BART General Manager Bob Powers for a tour of 70 affordable apartments under construction at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station. BART, the State of California, the City of El Cerrito, and development partner Related California joined forces to build the housing for qualifying low-income individuals and families earning 30% to 60% of the Contra Costa County Area Median Income.

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.

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.

BART’s TOD program delivers well-designed, mixed-use, higher-density housing and community amenities adjacent to BART stations. TODs help reduce household transportation costs and environmental impacts while boosting transit ridership and supporting regional housing goals.
