BART Schedule Change
On Monday, August 11, 2025, BART made minor schedule changes in coordination with the region’s other transit systems as part of a collective effort to improve transfer times for riders.
As a result of some BART departure times shifting by a few minutes, MB Shuttle is reviewing its schedule for possible adjustments.
