A passenger waits for a BART train to stop at the 19th Street Station in Downtown Oakland Sept. 23, 2025.
Travelers moving through five stations — San Francisco International Airport, West Oakland, Powell, Embarcadero and Civic Center — can now connect to “reliable” Wi-Fi with “blanket coverage,” BART announced Monday.
The first five stations were selected since BART predicts they will see heavy traffic related to events leading up to the Super Bowl this Sunday. Wi-Fi will eventually come to all stations by early 2028.
Riders will be able to access the network named “BART Wi-Fi” with no email or password required. Sessions on the network will last 20 minutes and users will have to confirm they are still using the network after 20 minutes.
Once a device is connected to the network, users will have the option to allow their device to automatically connect whenever they are within the coverage area.
The Wi-Fi is powered by Boldyn Networks, a host provider that builds and maintains infrastructure for Wi-Fi.
The next phase of the project will add Wi-Fi at the 16th Street Mission, 24th Street Mission, Balboa Park, Glen Park and Daly City stations by June.
