Location

Bay Fair station has a single elevated island platform serving the line's two tracks. A pedestrian tunnel under the Union Pacific Railroad Oakland Subdivision tracks connects the fare lobby to parking areas south of the station. An AC Transit bus transfer area and additional parking are located on the north side of the station.[4]

Thirteen BART stations, including Bay Fair, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate on the platform at Bay Fair was installed in July 2021.[5]
