This station has the red tiles, 19th has blue tiles.
Ashley MowreyMay 12, 2016Don't try to take your bike on a train from 7-9:30, people are super rude and won't make room for you. If you can, just drop it at the 19th street bike station.
Nailphoria Day SpaJanuary 27, 2012WE like the BART access in-front of the building... Morning BART crew ROCKS!
David SchwartzMay 29, 2022Station is in my favorite color if you’re a nerd you can hang out at the front end and watch the track switch when the different direction train comes!- Next level BART riding: getting on the train at the right doors, so that you get off right in front of the stairs to the exit you want.
Chris EclipseNovember 2, 2010If you're new to these trains pay attention to what platform your train boards on. This station has multiple levels.
Sooooo this station is in the heart of Downtown Oakland. Close to Marriott-City Hall-restaurants.
Heads up, I've noticed a guy following me from this station. Noticed that I changed my hair color this month. Not sure if creep or mentally challenged.
Alex MerenkovSeptember 15, 2012The water fountains at not both These stations(19th and 12th) are broken and neither has bathrooms of any kind. The surrounding area of Oakland also has no bathrooms or water fountains.- Alex MerenkovSeptember 15, 2012Watch out for the blood and piss that can be found in the street elevators. These stations on broadway are so awful. Probably why I never go to downtown Oakland.
Bert AnkromMay 2, 2011If you are coming FROM The City on a Sunday and going to Richmond transfer at 19th instead.
Fastest way to get to College Of alameda is the 51A ,or the 20
Bennett W WongFebruary 5, 2019There are three platforms at this station. Heading to San Francisco? Head to the lower level platform.
rough little hood after 10pm ...nice and bustling with Oakland peeps during the day!
Niña 🌺October 21, 2012Exit 13th instead of 11th when leaving the platform to get to all the bus stops.
Joseph HenchmanMarch 13, 2012Don't transfer between Richmond and Pittsburg trains here anymore! Wait for 19th St instead. (Backed up trains were disrupting SF service)
Trevor McBrideMarch 15, 2014Got off the train to get some Wenders, they wouldn't let me back on. Said that I had to repay. Wtf, just trying to get my burgies on
Jamba Juice is nearby, perfect way to cool down after a stuffy BART ride.
Daniel VoisineMay 6, 2010I like BART, but this station is only average, and hardly safe then it used to be.
- Count on your fellow BART patrons to be pushy, surly, and rude.
