About this Event
After decades of planning, design, and construction, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system opened to the public in 1972. Join us on a tour on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, to learn about the history, Mid-Century Modern design, and art of BART. The tour will visit several BART stations in San Francisco designed by prominent local Modern architects and architecture firms, including Ernest Born and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).
Please note, in addition to the ticket fee, attendees will need to purchase their own BART fare of $4.60. Paper tickets are no longer sold at BART kiosks; instead, plastic Clipper cards can be purchased for $3, or you can load a "virtual" Clipper card onto your Apple Pay or Android wallet. Children 4 and under ride for free. More information here: https://www.bart.gov/tickets
