Station [edit]

The main station entrance sits within a circular building at the center of a parking lot, while an elevator between the surface and the platform is located at the parking lot's Sacramento Street edge. (The elevator has a dedicated turnstile; however, an Addfare machine, which is used to add funds to an already-printed BART ticket, is only available inside the main station entrance.)

History [edit]

Service at this station began on January 29, 1973.[4] This station is in BART District 3 and is represented by Bob Franklin.[5]
