The system will also be running extra trains.

Looking for a designated driver on New Year’s Eve?

BART is extending its service until 3 a.m. on New Year’s morning.

In addition to normal weekday service of trains running every 20 minutes, BART will release additional trains in and out of San Francisco on New Year’s eve and morning.

The extra service was put in place to ease crowding at the Embarcadero and Montgomery Street stations, the result of the large number of people who pile in every year to see the fireworks show in downtown San Francisco. 

The show begins at 9:30 p.m. on Fisherman's Wharf, after which there will be extra BART trains departing from the Embarcadero and Montgomery Street stations.

Trains departing from Fremont will not stop at the Montgomery Street station, only the Embarcadero station.

After the fireworks end, Fremont-bound passengers must use the Embarcadero Street station, as the Montgomery station will not run in that direction.
