BART schedule change on Jan. 13, 2025.
Caltrain will implement a new weekday and weekend schedule, which goes into effect Monday, Jan. 27. Most changes to the schedule are minor and will provide improved on-time performance and address customer feedback.
Changes in New Schedule
- Most weekday and weekend trains will be adjusted by one to two minutes to improve on-time performance.
- Trains 113 and 141 will depart Tamien and San Jose Diridon stations four minutes earlier.
- Train 104 will start 25 minutes earlier, leaving San Francisco Station at 5:30 a.m. and arriving at Tamien by 7:08 a.m. This will impact the BART transfer at Millbrae, please consider the 6:38 a.m. train (#502).
- South County Connector evening trains will be adjusted by one minute. There will be no change to morning trains.
- BART is timing its late evening Millbrae service that runs every 15 minutes to line up with Caltrain’s service every 30 minutes. In September 2024, Caltrain’s new electric service schedule significantly improved transfer times. Both agencies have coordinated on a helpful transfer timetable to show which trains connect and their transfer wait times.
- VTA is making changes to match both BART’s and Caltrain’s schedule changes to ensure timed transfers are maintained at various locations across the South Bay and Peninsula.
BART implemented a new schedule on Jan. 13. Riders that transfer between Caltrain and BART after 9 p.m. at Millbrae will be served by a BART train that will run every 15 minutes between Millbrae and SFO only. Riders will have an easy cross platform transfer at SFO to board a Yellow Line train. At Millbrae, two of the four trains each hour will be timed with Caltrain’s 30-minute service schedule to provide a convenient transfer between Caltrain and BART.
The two agencies are working together to better serve the region and their riders with continued schedule coordination to support transfers between systems at Millbrae. Schedules were designed to provide transfer wait times that are convenient for riders but also flexible enough to avoid missing connections if one or both systems are experiencing minor delays.
Caltrain also announced it would be making future schedule adjustments in August to better coordinate with BART and other regional transit agencies. For information on transfers, visit the Caltrain Transfer page.
