Early Bird Express

From Transit.Wiki

Early Bird Express is a series of early bus routes to replace BART's 4am weekday service. Due to retrofit of the Transbay Tube, BART pushed the opening time 1 hour later for longer overnight construction window.

Although the service is coordinated and contracted by BART, it is delivered by local bus agencies in the area. The fares for each route would reflect the fare of normal service provided by the agency but at a rate similar to or below BART. Normal bus agency Clipper, age, and disability discounts apply.

Some of the routes are within East Bay, Transbay to Salesforce Transit Center, and within SF or Peninsula to Salesforce Transit Center. Passengers between East Bay and other non-downtown SF locations on the west side of the Bay would have to transfer at Salesforce Transit Center.
