Location

12th Street Oakland City Center[2] is an underground Bay Area Rapid Transit station located at 12th Street and Broadway next to the Oakland City Center in Downtown Oakland. It used to be a northbound transfer station along the BART system, until that role was moved to 19th Street/Oakland on September 13, 2010[3].

Like the 19th Street Oakland station, the concourse mezzanine is on the first level down, an island platform and two main tracks for northbound trains (bound for Richmond and Pittsburg/Bay Point) are on the second level down, and a side platform and one main track for southbound trains (bound for San Francisco and Fremont) are on the third level down.

The station was originally planned to have four main tracks and an island platform on each of the two levels, but budget constraints limited that idea.

This station is still the transfer point for Fremont passengers bounding to and from SFO/Millbrae at nights and on weekends.
