Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) will operate on a Sunday schedule this Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28. Services will run from 8 a.m. to midnight, with all five lines operating until 9 p.m. and three lines extending service until midnight. Parking fees will be waived at most BART stations on Thanksgiving, except at the Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations, where regular parking policies will apply under the Valley Transportation Authority’s management. Regular weekday schedules will resume on Friday, November 29, from 5 a.m. to midnight, according to the Bay Area Rapid Transit website.

For holiday travelers, BART offers Single and Multi-Day Reserved Parking as a cost-effective alternative to airport parking. Travelers can reserve spaces through BART’s website or app, ensuring a hassle-free transition from station to terminal. While Monthly Reserved Parking is also available, it is intended for regular commuters rather than occasional travelers. BART reminds passengers that reserved parking demand increases during the holidays, advising that parking in the Daily Fee area is allowed without risk of citation if reserved spaces are full upon arrival.

BART remains a convenient option for airport transit, providing direct connections to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK). Travelers can avoid the stress of driving and parking at the airport by relying on BART’s reliable service. More information on schedules, parking, and reservations is available on BART’s official website or app.
