The line is colored green on maps, and BART sometimes calls it the Green Line.[2] The line runs until 7 pm on weekdays and Saturdays. At other times, service is provided by the Berryessa/North San José–Richmond line and the Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City line, with timed transfers at Bay Fair station.

History

The Fremont–Daly City line was the third of BART's five rapid transit lines to open. Transbay service began when the Transbay Tube opened on September 16, 1974, connecting the Montgomery Street–Daly City section (opened November 5, 1973) with the East Bay sections of the system. Initial Transbay service was two lines: Concord–Daly City and Fremont–Daly City.[3] The extension to Warm Springs/South Fremont station opened on March 25, 2017.[4] Until September 10, 2018, Saturday service on the line only ran to Fremont station.[5]

A second extension to Berryessa/North San José station as part of the Silicon Valley extension project opened on June 13, 2020.[6][7] The full extension is planned to eventually reach 28th Street/Little Portugal, Downtown San Jose, Diridon, and Santa Clara stations in 2029 or 2030.
