Riders will no longer see “Pleasant Hill” trains on the platform signs, instead they will be “Concord” trains. Some PM commute trains will also end at Concord instead of Pleasant Hill. 3 trains will originate at Pleasant Hill in the 6 am hour. Pleasant Hill will still be served by the same number of trains in the morning, but many of them will no longer originate at the station. These riders may now opt to begin their trip at Concord once again. Over the years, morning riders looking to target these short run trains because they were less crowded, shifted their origin station to Pleasant Hill. In September 2015, BART changed its schedule and these trains went from starting at Concord to starting at Pleasant Hill. Morning peak-period trains that previously originated or turned back at Pleasant Hill will now originate/turn back at Concord, allowing BART to better serve more riders on this busy line by returning extra service to Concord.Also, PDF’s of the current and new schedule timetables can also be found here. The new schedule is now available on our Trip Planner and on the BART (Official) App when you plan a trip on or after 2/10. Train times have shifted by a few minutes throughout the day. We want to make sure all of our riders know about these adjustments in advance, so they are not caught by surprise.


Many of our riders plan their arrival times around the specific train they want to catch. Major improvements include the return of two-line service into San Francisco on Sunday, the addition of Fleet of the Future trains on Saturday, earlier weekday train service for many riders, increased peak service for Concord riders in the morning and evening, and later evening direct service from San Francisco into Warm Springs. Most changes are small tweaks and will adjust departures and arrivals by only a few minutes, but there are some more significant changes. Some lines will see service start earlier and some will start a little later. The new schedule impacts all lines to some degree, especially first and last trips of the day. BART adjusted train schedules, today Februto improve service.
