Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station

Coming from Sacramento, we use this station as our gateway to San Francisco. There is ample parking right next to the station and parking is free on the weekend. As this is the end of the route, it is easy to get on and grab a seat for the 1 hr ride to downtown San Francisco. We get to relax, even take a nap if we want to and arrive refreshed, and don’t have to pay a $ 5 toll and about $ 50 worth of parking and driving hassles in San Francisco. In fact the last few times, we used public transportation all over the city and it worked marvelously! And when we are tired, the 1 hr ride back to our car is pleasant as well. Clean station and easy access right off of the freeway!

Bart security sucks!!! This is the 2^nd time in a week that my licence plates have been stolen. Bart needs to do something now about this its not free to get new licence plates and I will be calling bart. I am not a happy customer. So bart customers need to know what’s going on its BS

Never too crowded! It’s the last/​first station at the east bay! Easy to find a parking space. Easy access to purchase tickets. The train always on time. You always find a seat if you going west.
Going on the train will save you gas, toll bridge, and parking. Easy and cheap way to get to SF!

Honestly there is not much to say about this station. The bathroom are filthy and homeless people loiter the station. The added bonus however is the Bart to bus discount. If u snag a ticked on your way out, u can save a dollar on the bus fair.

The parking lot gets full by 6:30 a.m. so if you’re going to use the station make sure you get there plenty of time otherwise are some side streets that I see people parking on… I’m not sure if the issue tickets on the side streets but I see lots of people doing it

This is the fast way to go San Francisco downtown in a morning time. But they doesn’t have parking lots enough for all customer needs
After 7am you should start looking for a parking space on streets close, isn’t easy to find!
The stations is dirty, and the employee looks unhappy to work here.
The 3 star is just for the easy way to go San Francisco!

I’ve gone there twice.
I dropped my car off Saturday morning when I came back Sunday night, my drivers window was shattered along with about a eight other vehicles windows based on the amount of glass in the parking lot.
A police report was filed, per the business card left on my windshield.
The good news is I was advised parking was free over the weekend.
I would have gladly paid the $ 3, since it will cost $ 130 to replace the windows.
Hey BART how about improving security!

I had to go to the bathroom here unfortunately only to discover there was no soap. The soap dispenser was marked «out of service» so I presume there hasn’t been soap here for a while. The next day I have a cold. Now that’s no coincidence.

Always smells like weed /​cigarettes. Bathrooms look like a crime scene. But it gets me to work and avoids traffic!

I used to come up here a couple times a week to visit my friend (R.I.P.) and would walk back at night. I never had an incident with anyone nor did I ever feel unsafe. I haven’t used the bathrooms so I can’t vouch for their state of being but this station is one of the cleaner stations otherwise. It does get a little cold at night because the station area isn’t entirely enclosed. The trip from Fremont Bart Station to Pittsburg/​Bay Point Bart Station is about an hour and 40 minutes. So yeah, bring a book or an Mp3 player to keep you entertained.

The barts are always on time but this update was about the women’s restroom For the past two weeks I can honestly say the women’s restrooms have been cleaner than usual and I’m giving this update because no urine smell I don’t know if my last review read but thanks anyways I ride Bart and I pay good money to be in a clean environment. knowing you guys deal with hundreds of people Daily I can say I’m satisfied.

It’s just a hub too get to all my destinations. Most of the time it’s to work, but other times its to fun events and hangouts that I frequent. As with most Bay Area Rapid Transit terminals. You deal with your occasional hoodlum and hobo. But if you’re in the greater east bay, fastest way to get around.

The waiting platform here is in the middle of highway 4, so it is like waiting on a highway median. Really I shouldn’t say «like» — waiting here you *are* on a highway median. It would be impossible to carry on a phone conversation here. Cars are going highway speed about fifteen feet from the platform edge, on either side. However, there are trains here and they will take you to other places, so that’s good.

Closest BART from Solano County, but will avoid Pittsburg BART as possible.
Huge parking space with not clear sign of reserved area. Narrow space to fit even compact car.

Dirty, ghetto, dangerous! The Bart stop with the most car break ins. People usually smoking cigarettes or weed in your face. Passengers always running through the emergency exit (and getting caught) to try and avoid paying their fare. Prices as of 12÷16÷15 are up to $ 3.50!!! I’d prefer driving the extra few miles to North Concord/​Martinez where there’s 10 times as many parking spots, and the price was barely raised from nothing, to a mere $ 1.00. Sometimes I’d even drive to San Francisco when I pass by and look at the type of people «waiting for the bus.» Avoid this location at night also. Just bad news all over.

This is the closest Bart station to me & it’s not too bad, there’s a nice layout, but it gets cold while you’re walking over the freeway to the platforms. And some of the ticket machines don’t work correctly!
It’s cool there’s security out here at night & it’s really quiet too. I like how close it is to walk to someone parked in the waiting area, it’s almost impossible for them to not find you! Can’t wait until Bart goes further down to Antioch/​Brentwood, for an even closer drive!

Busy station! But I rarely use BART so I can’t complain. The train was clean enough, I enjoyed and survived the rollercoaster ride.

This is my BART station of choice, whenever I wish to travel from the Sacramento area to San Francisco. Being the start and end point, it is usually not crowded by the time I am either entering or leaving a BART train.
Took my little sister and Goddaughter here, and for their first time, they enjoyed the actual «train» experience. So why the four stars?
They both were collecting everything as souvenirs for this bay area trip, and were quite upset that the BART station «swallowed» their tickets. For some background, this was between 9:30 and 10:00 pm on a Friday night. Well, we explained the situation to the security guard (police officer???), and he went into an office and brought out some spare tickets for them to keep.
Don’t know if he is employed by BART, or if he is Pittsburg PD, or what, but he was a very nice man who made an awesome day trip to SF even better.

This is easily the lowest possible form of transportation available. You would be far better served by a team of mules pulling a Conestoga wagon.
Their highly-​overpaid employees are rude, lazy and incompetent. If you are successful in drawing their attention away from their iPhones long enough for a discussion, you will receive a scowl, a shrug of indifference and an «I don’t know» in response to virtually any question you pose to them.
The stations and trains are filthy. I have actually spent time in cleaner bus station restrooms. And speaking of restrooms, if you ever dare use one of BART’s – which are often closed or in disrepair – enter at your own risk. The New York City sewer system has fewer germs and bacteria.
The fares are outrageous. The one-​way fare between Millbrae and SFO Airport (a distance of 2 miles) is a whopping $ 4.25. They also nickel and dime you to park in any of their lots where cars are routinely broken into. BART Police are quick to ticket your car but couldn’t care less about curbing vandalism or crime.
BART’s bureaucratic, multi-​level management team is truly worthless. They do little more than attend Board meetings, generate policies by which nobody abides and generate dissension amongst their heavily-​unionized workforce who frequently go on strike. In fact, during their last strike in Oct. 2013, I wrote a letter directly to General Manager Grace Crunican requesting an apology for the inconvenience it caused – I had to sleep in my car at work 2 nights because I could not commute home by BART – which she completely ignored.
The class of people you encounter at Pittsburg-​Baypoint Station and on the trains themselves consists of a mix of ghetto-​trash, derelicts, punks, drunks, weirdos, people who haven’t bathed or heard of deodorant and, in many cases, a combination of all of the above. BART is basically operating a homeless shelter/​insane asylum on wheels.
IMHO, this is one of the worst public transit systems in America. Ironically, they are federally subsidized with all of their hourly employees earning more than $ 27 per hour and salaried employees earning in excess of $ 90K/​year – with riders footing the bill through frequent fare increases. One might assume high pay attracts quality workers, however in BART’s case, the opposite is true… a collection of total losers. BART realizes that because they have no competitive rail service, they can provide crappy service because riders have no choice.
BART SUCKS in every possible way!!!

Parking lot SUCKS! Beware of narrow rows, not very F150 friendly!
Seems cleaner than the Concord station I’m used to going to, but it’s nice.
Don’t quite understand the parking validation system… do they really check if you paid the $ 1 to park in a spot? Why are the machines after the turnstiles and not before?
