The BART Watch app allows riders to discreetly text with police dispatch

BART Watch is a free mobile app for both iOS and Android that allows you to quickly and discreetly report criminal or suspicious activity directly to BART Police. Use BART Watch to send a text description of what you're seeing, attach a picture and select from a list of locations and categories to assist BART Police in their response. Reports can be anonymous. The app is also available in Spanish and Chinese.

If you're in an area without cellular connectivity, your message will be stored and delivered as soon as connectivity returns. BART Watch is designed to send text messages before pictures so that the BART Police can receive reports as quickly as possible.

Robbery / Theft

Lewd Behavior

Unattended Bag or Package

Vandalism

Illegally Parked Vehicle

The BART to Airport app offers discounted mobile tickets for group airport travel.

The BART to Airport app simplifies getting to and from the airport and it will save groups up to 25% on their BART trips to and from the airport. The app is a test of mobile ticketing at BART. Discounted tickets will be available for purchase through the app until further notice and must be used within 90 days of purchase.

Friends, families, and business travelers of two or more can use the BART to Airport app to purchase discounted tickets in advance for airport trips with the stored tickets on the buyer’s phone ready for use any time. The app offers the convenience of no paper tickets to keep track of, no need to carry cash and no need to wait in line at a ticket machine with the hassle of purchasing multiple tickets.

How it works

The BART to Airport app is fast, secure, and convenient. Riders just download the free app, register a debit card, credit card or PayPal account, then purchase a ticket. When they are ready to take BART, they activate the ticket and show it to a Station Agent as they enter and exit stations. The app calculates the discounted fare for you and the one mobile ticket is all you need for the entire group.

Groups must be travelling together and must be heading to or coming from the airport to use the app, the mobile ticket and to get the discount. Other BART discounts do not apply with use of the app and a visual inspection by a Station Agent is required- the app does not communicate with the fare gates.
