Onboard
As part of an extended trial, bicycles can be carried onboard BART with no extra charge. There's no longer a blackout period during weekday peak hours where bikes are not permitted onboard, but bikes are not allowed on any crowded car.
At the stations, BART regulations prohibit bicycles on escalators. Bicyclists will have to either carry the bicycle on the stairs or use the elevators. Also, bike riding is not allowed at the station or on the platforms.
When going through the fare gates, use wide fare gates if available. Otherwise, process your ticket first at a regular gate and then use the side manual swing gate to retrieve your bike on the other side of the fare gates.
During weekday peak hours (7:00 to 9:00 am and 4:30 to 6:30 pm.) bikes are not permitted on the first 3 cars of any train. At other times, bikes are not permitted on the first car of the train only. There are no bike racks on BART trains. Rider must park the bicycle in a open area near the door and hold the bike while the train is in motion. On some cars, these areas have been designated for bicycles. Bicyclists must yield priority seats to seniors and people with disabilities.
Bicyclists under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by an adult.
Folding bicycles
Folding bicycles are permitted on any train.
