Getting home to the East Bay after a late night in San Francisco might soon get easier.
BART, which shuts down train service at 12:26 a.m., will roll out some late-night bus service on Saturdays and Sundays beginning as early as December, according to reports.
The San Francisco Chronicle has word of BART's plan to try expanding the Bay Area's "skeletal overnight transbay bus service" for a year.
The buses would run to "central Contra Costa County" from the city and also add buses going to Richmond and to Fremont, the newspaper reported.
Right now, there's just one bus, the AC Transit "All Nighter," which runs "infrequently" from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
BART needs to shut down train service so that tracks can be worked upon. There is no plan at this time for all-night trains.
Buses would run from as far away as the 24th and Mission station to points east, the newspaper reported.
