Bart oakland coliseum station ticket kiosk
Oakland Coliseum is a complex of three train stations of two public transit providers that are within 600 feet (180 m) of each other: Amtrak Capitol Corridor's Oakland Coliseum station, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)'s Coliseum station, and the BART to Oakland International Airport automated guideway transit (AGT) terminal, also known as the Coliseum-Oakland International Airport line. They are located in Oakland, California, United States, and are connected to each other, and to the Oakland Coliseum and the Oracle Arena by pedestrian bridges. BART and Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), Capitol Corridor's administration agency, refers to these separate stations as one station.
Contents
In addition to the Coliseum–Oakland International Airport AGT line, AC Transit bus routes 73 (73rd Avenue) and 805 (All-Nighter) also provide service between the BART station and Oakland International Airport.
BART's Coliseum station consists of an elevated island platform with the concourse mezzanine at ground level. The BART to OAK Airport station has a single track and side platform.
Capitol Corridor's Oakland Coliseum station, the newest Capitol Corridor station, consists of a side platform on a side track. It is unstaffed, but has an electronic ticketing system.
History
Originally known as the Coliseum/Oakland Airport station, it opened as part of BART's initial service on September 11, 1972, connecting the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum and the Coliseum Arena via a pedestrian bridge going above then-existing railroad tracks which were later used by Capitol Corridor, beginning with the service's inception in 1991.
In 2002, CCJPA, in conjunction with Caltrans and the City of Oakland, decided to build a Capitol Corridor station there. The new station, officially named "Oakland Coliseum" station, opened on May 25, 2005, and included a new connection to the original BART-Oakland Coliseum pedestrian bridge, thus enabling transfers between the two services.
In October 2009, Oakland City Council voted its approval for a 3.2-mile (5.1 km) extension of BART to Oakland International Airport. Preliminary construction began in late 2010; the service began on November 22, 2014. Fares for the BART to OAK Airport service are $6.
After the Coliseum–Oakland International Airport line opened in November 2014, the official name for the BART station, previously "Coliseum/Oakland Airport Station", became "Coliseum Station", freeing the BART to OAK terminus station at the airport to be named "Oakland International Airport Station".
Ridership
Of the 44 BART stations open at the time, Coliseum (previously Coliseum/Oakland Airport) station was the 16th-busiest in FY2014, detraining an average of 7,819 passengers each weekday.
Oakland Coliseum served an average of approximately 157 Amtrak passengers daily in 2015.
