In order to prepare to open the Bay Area Rapid Transit to Silicon Valley Extension, BART will be closing the Warm Springs/South Fremont Station for two consecutive weekends: September 23-24 and September 30 through October 1. BART will operate a free bus from the closed station to our Fremont Station which will run every 20 minutes between the two stations. Riders should expect the closure to add 20-30 minutes to their trip.
If riders are driving to BART, BART suggests that they park at Fremont station to save time.
This is critical work that involves the installation of new software and then testing of the software in preparation for the Silicon Valley Extension project with the Valley Transportation Authority. Once completed, this will allow BART to finalize the connection between Warm Springs/South Fremont Station and the Silicon Valley Extension. BART will be running test trains on the track which is why they agency cannot run passenger trains safely at the same time. Once this work is completed, BART will be ready for the new service.
