Station Layout
MacArthur station is unique in the BART system in that it was built with cross-platform interchanges in mind. There are two island platforms and four tracks; the outer tracks serve all trains to and from Richmond, while the inner tracks serve the Pittsburg/Bay Point-SFO Line; at times Richmond-Millbrae Line trains also use the center tracks. Connections between the lines are timed for southbound travelers. This is not the case for northbound travelers, as a transfer already exists further south at 19th Street/Oakland.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
