Bay Area Rapid Transit's (BART) new train to plane service, "BART to OAK," which provides an easy connection to Oakland International Airport, will open in time for Thanksgiving travel on November 22, 2014.

Starting on November 22, riders will be able to board one of four three-car automated people movers at either the Coliseum Station or the Oakland International Airport Station and take the eight-minute ride at 30 mph.

“The ride and the experience alone are memorable,” said BART General Manager Grace Crunican. “Riders get a 360-degree view from the windows surrounding the entire car as you travel over the traffic below. It’s a cable propelled system with light-weight and quiet trains, so it’s like gliding through the air.”

Trains arrive every five minutes during peak commute hours (weekdays 8a.m.-8p.m.) and drop off and pick up riders just steps away from both terminals at OAK. BART riders have a quick and easy train-to-train transfer at the Coliseum station.

The project broke ground in 2010 and construction cost $484 million.
