Rockridge Station

Convenient direct trains to SFO and SF, connecting trains to Oakland airport. Makes ditching your car, or minimizing car use possible

A fairly straightforward BART station, with one consequential twist which might cause some challenges to folks with disabilities.nOutside of the paid area, there is a walkway, which crosses over College Avenue leading to an exit/entrance to one of the station's parking lot.nUnfortunately, the walkway's exit/entrance is a stairway, thus there is no easy access to folks with mobility issues; one has to cross College for access to the station (Compounding this challenge, an additional short stairway connects the walkway to the station.)nFortunately, an elevator and escalator, as well as parking, are available on the side of the station with the main entrance.

The station is decently clean relative to other BART stations I’ve been at. I also like that there’s a section that provides protection from the rain although if it’s a particularly windy rain then you’re screwed. In my month and a half of living here the trains have always been on time and run frequently during rush hours. The best part about the station though is the views of SF and the sunrise/sunset.

Clean, lots of capacity parking, easy access to buses and trains

Standard Oakland Bart Station. Perhaps not as dangerous as some of the other stations in Oakland but don't let your guard down;)
