With the recent completion of work at San Bruno Station, new next generation fare gates have been installed at all six BART stations in San Mateo County.
Next generation fare gates are now in service at 48 stations, putting the project on track to reach its goal of full installation across the five counties BART serves by the end of 2025, according to the transit agency.
“The installation of these game-changing fare gates is the result of a collaborative effort. I’m proud to say we have hit the reset button on the relationship between San Mateo County and BART,” David Canepa, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said in a press release. “BART and San Mateo County share the goal of increasing ridership through making stations safer and cleaner. These gates represent a critical step in what will be an ongoing partnership to put riders first.”
The gates feature clear swing barriers that are much more difficult to push through or jump over compared to the old gates BART had used for decades. They have LED lighting on the swing barriers and are equipped with 3D sensors that can detect if someone is in a wheelchair or has a bike, stroller or luggage with them, according to BART.
The installation at the five nonairport stations in San Mateo County was fully funded by the San Mateo County Transportation Authority through voter-approved Measure W. SFO funded the new gates at San Francisco International Airport Station, according to BART.
