Starting This Weekend, East Bay Partiers Can Take A Late Bus Home From SF
After surveys, planning news, and speculation, we can finally confirm that a new trans-Bay bus line will be in operation beginning this weekend.
BART and AC Transit today announced that a 1-year pilot program has been approved for the new weekend bus line 822, which will run between 1 am and 2:30 am every 30 minutes from 24th street in San Francisco to the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station in the East Bay, with multiple stops along the way.
"In San Francisco, Lines 822 and 800 will stop at 24th Street/Mission, 16th Street/Mission, Market/Van Ness Ave, Civic Center/UN Plaza, Powell Street, Montgomery Street and Embarcadero as well as the Temporary Transbay Terminal at Beale and Howard streets, the report reads. "In the East Bay, Line 822 stops at 14th Street/Broadway and Rockridge BART in Oakland; then on to BART stations at Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Pittsburg/Bay Point."
In addition, the already in operation 800 and 801 lines will now run with a higher frequency between 12:30 and 2:30.
Trans-Bay trips will be a little pricier, running up to $4.20 (payable with Clipper or cash), but that's much cheaper than taking a ride share home, or you know, even buying another beer.
