Pittsburg/Bay Point is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Pittsburg, California, United States, adjacent to the community of Bay Point. As the northeastern terminal station of the Pittsburg/Bay Point–SFO/Millbrae line, it serves all of northern and eastern Contra Costa County, including the cities of Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood, as well as the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

History

The station opened on December 7, 1996; it is in BART District 2 and is represented by Joel Keller.[3]

The under-construction eBART extension – scheduled to begin running in 2018 – is a DMU line starting at Pittsburg / Bay Point to serve eastern Contra Costa County communities. The station is being expanded to include an additional platform beyond the existing one to provide an interchange to this service. The eBART platfrom will have no street access, so passengers will have to ride a mainline BART train between the two platforms. The eBART line will initially go from Pittsburg / Bay Point to Antioch.[4] There are proposals to extend the line further east to Oakley, Brentwood, or Byron.[5]

Incidents

A child was born in the station’s parking lot on November 26, 2012.[6]

On March 16, 2016, a mysterious power surge on the tracks between North Concord/Martinez and Pittsburg/Bay Point stations caused several cars to be taken out of service. BART halted regular service to Pittsburg/Bay Point that day, and replaced the service with a bus shuttle.[7] Limited service to Pittsburg/Bay Point resumed on March 21[8] and full service returned on April 2.[9]
