Berkeley, Wednesday, April 8, 2026 10:41 PM

Orientations of gate openings in the BART in the direction from Powell to Downtown Berkeley.

Powell: Wagon direction North East. Gate to Platform: North West. Underground.

Same as above for the nearby stations of Montgomery and Embarcadero.

West Oakland Station: Wagon direction: East. Gate opening to platform: South. Above ground.

12th St. or Oakland Civic Center: Wagon direction: North, a little tilted toward the East. Gate opening to platform: West. Underground.

Same for the nearby 19th St Station.

Also, similar for the next stations. The same setting of gate opening at the West side. What changes a bit is the wagon direction, on each station and if it is above ground or underground. MacArthur (Above Ground), wagon direction North, a bit tilted towards the east. Ashby, similar description but it is underground. Downtown Berkeley. Wagon direction North. And it is underground.
