Bay Area Rapid Transit will provide late-night train service for fans leaving three FIFA World Cup matches at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
The last scheduled BART train that stops at all stations systemwide will leave Milpitas station at 11:53 p.m. toward the East Bay and San Francisco. For late-night matches, BART is offering special event trains that will put World Cup fans onto trains after BART is usually closed.
BART will run extra trains from Milpitas station after midnight for Tuesday and Friday night’s matches as well as a match on Monday, June 22. The special event trains will not stop at every station.
For these matches, BART will run additional trains that depart Milpitas station about every 30 minutes between 12:30 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. These trains will make stops at stations in Bay Fair, Dublin, MacArthur, El Cerrito del Norte, Pleasant Hill, and Powell St.
Fans will be able to take Valley Transportation Authority trains from Levi’s Stadium to Milpitas BART station.
Tuesday’s match begins at 9 p.m., and matches occurring on Friday and Monday, June 22 will start at 8 p.m.
Two limited-stop-express Orange Line trains for the 8 p.m. matches and three trains for the 9 p.m. match bound for El Cerrito del Norte will be available. They will stop at Bay Fair and MacArthur stations on the way. For riders headed to Dublin station, the Orange Line trains will stop at Bay Fair station where riders can exit and transfer on another train to Dublin.
For riders headed to Pleasant Hill, there will be two limited-stop-express Yellow Line trains for the 8 p.m. matches and three trains for the 9 p.m. match. Riders going to Dublin can also ride these trains since stops will be made at the Bay Fair station where transfers can be made. These trains will also stop at MacArthur station.
BART will also run extra trains toward San Francisco.
For Tuesday’s match at 9 p.m., one Green Line train will leave Milpitas and make stops at Bay Fair and all stops from West Oakland to Daly City stations. This train will run ahead of the last regularly scheduled Yellow Line train to Millbrae, so riders needing to make stops between Daly City and Millbrae can transfer to this Millbrae-bound train.
A final special event train will leave Milpitas after the final VTA train connects riders to BART, which could be as late as 1:40 a.m. This train will run to Powell St. station without stopping.
For the 8 p.m. matches on Friday and on Monday, June 22, there will be one special event train headed to San Francisco. It will only stop at Bay Fair station until making its final stop at Powell St. station. This train will leave Milpitas station after the final VTA train connects riders to BART, which could be as late as 1:40 a.m.
BART will not be implementing surge pricing for the FIFA World Cup. Riders can pay the regular fare.
Extra staff and security will be available at stations to help direct riders to the correct trains. There will also be extra lighting at key station parking lots as a safety measure for fans returning from the matches at night.
