BART ridership for Sunday, March 29, 2020 was 9,453, representing a 90% drop compared to an average Sunday in February 2020 (see our chart above).

To help ease our operating budget, this past weekend we sent some escalator and elevator crews to the Milpitas Station for some prep work, which is paid for with the capital budget.

BART continues to use the downtime from shelter in place and recent 9pm service closure to help rebuild its system. For more information, visit here.
