On June 7, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) will double the number of 15-minute frequencies on weekdays and offer more trips on Saturdays. 

While trips have been added to increase service, BART hours remain 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. Midnight service from Monday through Saturday will return Aug. 30.

BART will add 26 additional trips to its Monday-Friday schedule. Most of the added trips will occur during the shoulders of the morning and evening commute periods. Car occupancy data has demonstrated a need to increase service to help avoid crowding during those periods, BART officials said in a news release.
