Can I take my bicycle on BART?

Yes, bicycles are allowed on the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, but there are specific rules that riders must follow to ensure a smooth experience. BART permits bicycles on trains during certain hours. Generally, bicycles are allowed on trains during weekday hours from 9 AM to 3 PM and after 8 PM. On weekends and holidays, there are no restrictions, and bicycles can be taken on board at any time. It is important to note that riders must use designated bike areas on the train, where space is allocated for bicycles. Additionally, BART has a policy against riding bicycles on escalators, and riders must ensure that their bicycles do not obstruct doorways or walkways. Bicycles are not permitted during peak commute hours on weekdays, which are typically from 7 AM to 9 AM and from 4 PM to 6 PM. Since policies can change, it is a good idea for riders to check the current information on the BART website for any updates or specific guidelines regarding bicycle use on the trains.
