Installation work to begin October 28 for Next Generation Fare Gates at Montgomery Station

On October 28, BART will begin the installation Next Generation Fare Gates on the concourse level of Montgomery Station. The installation work will happen in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining current gates while new ones are installed. There will be additional BART staff as well as signage to direct riders to the open gates. Installing each new array is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. BART will eventually replace all seven fare gate arrays at Montgomery. The work is expected to continue into December.

A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. The work will not impact 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 eight other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART's Next Generation Fare Gate project here.
