On September 10, 2018, both lines began running to Warm Springs/South Fremont for their full operating hours.
īecause of delays with new BART railcars entering service, the station was initially served only by one line at a time (the Warm Springs/South Fremont–Daly City line on weekdays before 6 pm, and the Richmond-Warm Springs/South Fremont line at other times), with the other line running only to Fremont. Seven bus bays south of the rotunda are used by AC Transit buses as well as private shuttles. San Francisco Chronicle architecture critic John King praised the entrance rotunda with Catherine Widgery’s “Sky Cycles” artwork, but criticized the rotunda being scaled down from Chiang's design, as well as the lack of seating on the platform. The conceptual design of the station was by local architect Robin Chiang, with final design by HNTB. The station ultimately opened on March 25, 2017. The yet-to-open station was fully staffed beginning in September 2016 because BART union positions are only reassigned twice per year. By September 2016, BART planned to open the station the next month, which newspapers labeled an " October surprise" - a news event for the November 8 vote on a BART bond measure - but this did not occur. BART power cables unexpectedly needed replacement, and the new train control system on the extension proved difficult to integrate with the original train control system on the rest of BART.
