Headed to Hardly Strictly? BART + Muni is a great option. Why pay for parking? FREE parking at East Bay BART stations Sat. & Sun. (and Fri. after 3pm). If BART + bike is your plan, bring a lock for self-serve bike parking. Transportation info: 511cc.org/hsb2025

Numbers are in: more growth for ferry ridership. Preliminary data shows 17% year over year increase in September.

Total ridership for the last 12 months: 2.9 million pax. Inching ever closer to that 3 million mark.

The Bay Area is choosing safe, clean and reliable transit over freeway gridlock.
