We heard about this “Bike to the Movies” event Peter Hartlaub of the SF Chronicle and Grant Marek of SF Gate were hosting at the 4 Star Theater to highlight public transit, biking, and a local small business so we figured we’d check it out! It was a cool journey and a reminder of the fun stuff you can reach in the Bay Area when you mix public transit like BART, bikes, and other personal mobility devices.

Ahead of Veterans Day, BART celebrates employees who served and acknowledges their ongoing commitment to public service. “There are more than 200 military veterans in our BART family who each and every day contribute their experiences, values, and expertise to our organization,” said General Manager Bob Powers. “We all benefit from what they bring to BART, as do our riders.” Last month, we reached out to BART veterans with a few questions: How are the lessons and skills you gained in the military reflected in your work at BART? Why did you wish to continue your public service in a different capacity? Why are you proud to be a BART employee and a veteran? Read what they had to say here: https://lnkd.in/gcEH27uf

Coliseum Station is now the 10th to be outfitted with our new Next Generation Fare Gates! Work continues at Powell and Montgomery station and is happening in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining current gates while new ones are installed. Work replacing all the arrays at the two stations is expected to continue into December. BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at nine other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025.

Come check out these new murals BART at The Unity Council’s Día de los Muertos Festival on Sunday, Nov. 3, from 10am to 5pm, in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood. The new murals are on ten columns in the unpaid area under the platform of Fruitvale Station. The mural project was spearheaded by The Unity Council, and all of the artworks were created by Oakland-based artists: Senay “Refa One” Alkebulan, Cece Carpio, Jet Martinez, and Favianna Rodriguez. BART is working to continue deepening its relationship with the historic Unity Council and the Fruitvale community by supporting efforts like this culturally resonant street gallery, which not only reflects the identities of many of the people who live in the neighborhood but contributes to making Fruitvale Station a brighter and more welcoming space to everyone who passes through.
