SAN FRANCISCO — If you ride BART through the south end of the city, plan ahead this weekend. No trains will run between 24th Street Mission and Daly City on Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15.
That takes out Glen Park and Balboa Park for two days. Regular service comes back Monday at 5 a.m.
How to get through
Free buses from Muni and SamTrans will carry riders between 24th Street and Daly City. Some run straight through. Others also stop at Glen Park and Balboa Park.
You walk out through the open fare gates, ride the bus, and go back in at the other end. You do not pay twice.
BART says to add up to 30 minutes to your trip. Extra staff and interpreters will be in the stations to point the way. Some parking lots at Daly City station will be closed.
Why
Crews are installing a new train control system. When it is done, BART says it can run 30 trains an hour in each direction, up from 24.
Who should care
Anyone coming in from Daly City, Colma, South San Francisco or the airport side, and anyone in the Excelsior, Ingleside or Glen Park heading downtown or to the East Bay. Trip times are in the planner at bart.gov.
