Bay Fair station has a single elevated island platform serving the line's two tracks. A pedestrian tunnel under the Union Pacific RailroadOakland Subdivision tracks connects the fare lobby to parking areas south of the station. An AC Transit bus transfer area and additional parking are located on the north side of the station.[3]
Historyedit
The BART Board approved the name "Bay Fair" in December 1965.[4] The station opened on September 11, 1972, as part of the initial BART operating segment.[5] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including Bay Fair, were completed in the months following the opening.[6][7] It became a transfer station on May 10, 1997, with the opening of the branch to Dublin/Pleasanton; a flying junction was built south of the station.[5]
Thirteen BART stations, including Bay Fair, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate on the platform at Bay Fair was installed in July 2021.[8]
