It is Thanksgiving morning in 2001, and San Francisco is a ghost town. In the early morning at Embarcadero Station, the platforms are empty except two people who, at that time, did not know this would be the start of the most unlikely romance and a marriage that would last the next 20 years.
BART’s schedule will change on Monday, February 14, 2022, with significant improvements to Sunday service. With this schedule change, BART will operate midnight service every night of the week.

East and Southeast Asian cultures celebrate the first month of the new Lunar Year by hosting family and friends to eat and drink together, among other cultural and symbolic traditions like decorating one’s home in red, serving fruit to guests, and handing out money in red envelopes for good luck. Giving sweets is also a generous way to wish someone a “sweet” new year. We’ve rounded up some BARTable bakeries, eateries and shops that have just what the holiday calls for!
On Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at 11am, BART held a ribbon-cutting event to mark the reopening of the Powell Street Station restrooms that have been closed for more than 20 years. Restrooms at 10 of BART’s underground stations have been closed since 9/11 because of safety concerns. Powell Street Station’s two public restrooms are the first to reopen as part of the agency’s efforts to prioritize the needs of transit riders, especially now during the pandemic recovery.

When the pandemic first started, takeout containers and single-use plastics came back with a vengeance because sanitization was on our minds. Now, more and more people are trying to make up for it as plastic pollution weighs heavy on our conscience.
