The station is a terminus station. Trains enter from an elevated wye from the west side of Highway 101. There are three tracks and corresponding bay platforms. BART traffic to and from SFO has not been as high as originally anticipated, so only two of the three tracks are currently used.
On January 1, 2008 BART eliminated direct service between the SFO station and Millbrae (except for a few trips scheduled during the first and last hour of service each day). Passengers traveling between SFO and Millbrae had to make a timed transfer at San Bruno.[2][3] On September 14, 2009, BART again changed its schedule so that direct service between the SFO station and Millbrae is active after 7pm on weekdays, and all day on weekends and holidays. Passengers traveling between SFO and Millbrae still need to make a timed transfer at San Bruno during all other operating hours.[4]
There used to be a purple line connecting SFO and Millbrae, but service ended in 2004. The trains usually had 5 cars and ran frequently.
Service at this station began on June 22, 2003.[5]
Recently, in 2008 and 2009 ridership has increased significantly from when the station opened in 2003. The station has experienced a reported 65% increase in ridership by 2009 over the 2003 levels.
