The Oakland Coliseum Station is a complex of two stations of two public transit providers that are within 600 feet (180 m) of each other: Amtrak Capitol Corridor's Oakland Coliseum station and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)'s Coliseum/Oakland Airport (OAK)[4] station. They are located in East Oakland, and are connected to each other, and to the O.co Coliseum and the Oracle Arena by a pedestrian bridge.
BART and Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), Capitol Corridor's administration agency, will sometimes refer to these separate stations as one station.
AirBART shuttle bus and AC Transit bus routes 73 (73rd Avenue) and 805 (All-Nighter) all provide service between the BART station and Oakland International Airport.
BART's Coliseum/Oakland Airport station consists of an elevated island platform with the concourse mezzanine at ground level.
Capitol Corridor's Oakland Coliseum station, the newest Capitol Corridor station, consists of a side platform on a side track. It is unstaffed, but has an electronic ticketing system. Tickets for the Capitol Corridor can also be purchased on board for no extra charge.

BART's Coliseum/Oakland Airport station opened as part of BART's initial service on September 11, 1972,[5] connecting to the O.co Coliseum and Oakland Arena via a pedestrian bridge going above then-existing railroad tracks which were later used by Capitol Corridor, beginning with the service's inception in 1991.
In 2002, CCJPA, in conjunction with Caltrans and the City of Oakland, decided to build a Capitol Corridor station there. The new station, officially named "Oakland Coliseum" station, opened on May 25, 2005, and included a new connection to the original BART-Oakland Coliseum pedestrian bridge, thus enabling transfers between the two services.
There are currently plans to develop the area around the two stations.[6]
In October 2009, Oakland City Council voted its approval for a 3.2 mile extension of BART to Oakland International Airport.[7] Preliminary construction began in late 2010; the project is projected to be completed in Spring 2014.[8]
Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Oakland Coliseum was the 47th-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 55 passengers daily.[9]
