CONCORD, CA (Mar. 15, 2025) — The scheduled installation of BART’s Next Generation Fare Gates started at the Concord station Fri., Mar. 14. BART officials expect the installation process to take about two weeks to complete for each of the station’s two sets of gates.

A barrier around the gates being replaced went up Friday. The opposite set of gates will remain in service during the installation. Signage and additional BART staff helped direct riders to the open gates.

The work will not affect train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.

The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at 23 other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. Learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here.
