Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre

Yes, this is a 5 star BART station. Every time I've gone, the bathrooms have been clean. There is greenery across the street, which makes one want to hang out. There are food truck days to taste different cuisine. The bus depot is self contained and easy to navigate through (the signage is clear). There is a store on bottom of the platform - you can buy pizza, quench your thirst, or enjoy a light snack. This station is centrally located. If you're ambitious you can even walk downtown. There are trails and other parks nearby. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The only con - congested. This station's parking garage fills up rather quickly.nnThis station was recently retrofitted, so there is ample lighting, etc..

My commuting station. Clean, organized, and crowded. Parking free only at weekends or holidays. A lot bike parking lots can be found as well. With transit village you can eat or buy coffee nearby. Pretty convenient!

Good and clean Bart station, esp on Thursday and Friday afternoon with Taste of the world food market around it. Location is really good for both Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill locals.

I commute from this station. Parking no longer free - $3/day for the garage (which does fill up quickly), but there are lots and spots all around. Clean station although only a few sets of stairs up/down to the central lobby so it gets crowded getting on/off during rush hours.nnBike lockers are a huge plus. Located right off the Iron Horse trail, $0.05/hour for completely secure lockers - just make sure to get your BikeLink card somewhere. Walkable to a couple restaurants and coffee places. The little store is decent. On Fridays there are food trucks after 5, which are awesome when you get back after a long week.

12/13/14nnI grew up in Walnut Creek, about a mile from PH BART. This was the station I took to get to the airport, punk rock concerts in sf, and even once to visit a friend in Millbrae. I could walk the short distance from my parent's home if I didn't want to park in their lot.nnThis is easily my favorite BART station. Parking here is still free and usually pretty easy to find a spot (outside of weekday commuter hours - I'm sure all BART stations have limited parking at those times.)nnIn recent years they've built a community around this station so there are a handful of businesses and coffee shops nearby. There is also a small snack/coffee room on their property near the ticketing machines. I've never used the public restrooms here, but I have interacted with the employees and they've generally been very helpful and nice.
