News Articles

On twelve weekends between April 6 and August 16, BART tracks between Fruitvale and Coliseum stations will be closed. (BART has more information available about the track closure.) BART and AC Transit have arranged for AC Transit to operate a free shuttle between the two stations at times when the tracks are closed.
In order to allow room for the shuttle to stop, some bus stops at Fruitvale and Coliseum stations are being moved, effective Friday, April 3.
At Fruitvale BART:
- Line 20 to Alameda and downtown Oakland, and Line 21 to Alameda and the Oakland Airport, will use the bus stop closest to the garage, at the northwest end of the station.
- Line 47 will stop at the second stop closest to 35th Avenue, near the station entrance.
- On all weekends, and other times when the BART tracks are closed, lines 51A and 851 will also stop at the second stop closest to 35th Avenue, near the station entrance. This is one stop northwest of the current stop, which is the stop closest to 35th Avenue. On weekdays when BART tracks are open, lines 51A and 851 will continue to stop at their current stop.
- When BART tracks are closed between Fruitvale and Coliseum, the free shuttle to Coliseum BART will stop at the stop closest to 35th Avenue (where lines 51A and 851 usually stop).
- Other bus stops at Fruitvale BART are not changing.
At Coliseum BART, temporary bus stop poles will be placed on the northeast side of San Leandro Street, next to the BART station. All buses stopping on that side of the street will move to these new stops. Bus stops on the southwest side of the street, closer to the Coliseum, will not change.
- Lines 356, 646, 657, and 805 to downtown Oakland will stop just southeast of the crosswalk, near the station entrance. When BART tracks are closed between Fruitvale and Coliseum, the free shuttle to Fruitvale BART will also stop at this stop.
- Line 98 (counterclockwise loop) will stop in the central area of the station.
- Lines 45 and 73 to Eastmont will stop closest to 73rd Avenue, at the southeast end of the station. When BART tracks are closed, shuttles will drop off passengers in this location.
We appreciate your patience during the track closure.
