BART on Monday announced that it is expanding its pay-by-app carpool program to now include nine stations, including all stations west of the Bay that offer parking.
The app debuted in June at the Dublin/Pleasanton, Orinda, Antioch and Warm Springs station, and is now also available at Daly City, Colma, South San Francisco, San Bruno and Millbrae, according to the transit agency.
Riders who carpool to a station and pay for parking can use the official BART app and park in the permit section of the lot.
All carpoolers should obtain a Carpool ID within the app and whoever is paying for parking at the standard rate for the station needs to enter the station and parking stall number and make the payment before all
passengers enter the station.
At stations without the carpool program, riders must wait in line to pay with cash or set up an EZ rider account that involves a hang tag for their car. BART plans on expanding the app parking payment to all riders in
2020 but is starting it with carpools first to promote shared rides to the stations.
More information about the program can be found online at www.bart.gov/carpool.
Wow lots of hoops and fees and bs to wade thru
I can see why it pays to just jump the stile
Apparently they are making the working citizens pay for all the fare jumpers and crime …while not providing simple safety and security for them
Ahhh socialism at its finest
Wait until they institute the fee to be on the ramp
Or better a surcharge for going further than one stop
It’s coming
Why not you all ready pay to park pay to ride forced to now use a card
Eventually the clipper card will be for
Welfare and bus and Bart and Identification
Cash will not be an option
And you will have to ride a bus to Bart unless you pay for a sticker at a huge cost and that will only allow you to be dropped off
And mandatory visits to barts new soccer stadium
Dont forget an additional fee to use Uber/Lyft at the Bart to be picked up and dropped off near a Bart station
Ah taking up more spaces from paying customers for carpools that will never be used! Very clever BART.
