This is the mythical place that BART trains go to sleep at night. Recently used this station for the first time. Parking is a major pain and what's up with the narrow exits from the platform to the ground level. I understood later why everyone was rushing out of the train. On the plus side, you have nice views of the hills while you wait. read more

BART will never win any prizes for being pretty or clean. But during times when going to SF is as painful as waxing hair, then I go with the least painful and cheaper option and riding the BART in. The best time to hit BART is weekends when the parking is plentiful. The worst time to go are weekday mornings. The parking fills up and stays that way until the late afternoons and evenings when everyone gets back to the station to head home. If you are looking to use BART on weekdays between 9am and 3pm, good luck! There's no possible way to find a spot unless you stalk someone leaving the station and ask them to lead you to their car. Parking also costs $1 until 3pm and the instructions on how to pay for your parking are vague at best. In a nutshell, 1)remember your stall number, 2)buy your ticket, 3)insert paid ticket into gate machine to get access inside, 4)go to separate parking validation machine and pay for parking there. For South Bay folks who don't want to drive and pay $40 ripoff pricing for parking near the Giants game, take BART to wait a bit longer, walk a bit farther, but save a boatload of money. read more

I can't believe I'm actually reviewing this place... This is the best BART station you could ever go to. During the morning rush hour to go to SF you are guaranteed to get a seat since this is the first stop. I can't say the same about many BART stations since a lot of times the seats will be full by South Hayward. It is about as clean as any BART station (read: pretty damn dirty) but on a super cold day it kind of sucks that you have to wait outdoors on the platform. read more

Bart in the SF Bay Area is just one of the worst run public transportation systems in the world. There are delays every day. Cleanliness is also a major issue. Floors are not cleaned. Area inside the car is very dirty as well. read more

Oh Fremont BART station... It's one of the better stations I must stay, but that's probably because it's not within a big city or out near the industrial parks like the others are. It's pretty much always clean and is in good shape. And because it's not in the city or in the dingiest part of the city you usually don't need to worry about panhandlers (though there are a couple homeless who tend to use the benches in the back of the station they've never panhandled). It is the end/beginning of the line so you will be waiting a while on the train once it gets there which I do not mind. They do shorten trains here so you may have to do a lot of shifting up and down the platform if this is the case though. My biggest problem with this station is the parking. The lots are huge, but the regular Fee lot fills up before 8 so in order to get to school on time without getting a parking ticket or paying a ton for the Permit lot, I had to get here early. This meant getting to the station by 7 when class didn't start until 10 or 11. The Permit lot opens at 10 for everyone and there are still tons of spaces which begs the question as to why they need so much permit parking. Essentially parking is the reason why I switched to using Union City. Staff is usually fine here as well. There is (or at least was) a blond, younger woman working in the station agent booth who was uber helpful and nice which was refreshing. Decent station and parking is free on the weekends! read more

Fremont BART is a station I regularly go to when coming in from Daly City. This is a place that has been around for ages and for me it is the station that is alright because it is not that busy most of the time and not a lot of students use it. At night there is no activity because the buses are slow as a snail. At that time you would have to switch trains which is a hassle for my friends when they come from the great mall. For most SJ people I would pass on this station and just drive to Milbrae if you want to take a non work or education trip to SF read more

Lived in Fremont for the past 15 years and it's been a pleasure to have the Fremont BART station close by. This BART station is always clean and doesn't reek of god-knows-what like some of the other stations. The only con I would say is the parking - it's sometimes difficult to find parking depending on the hour of the day. Food and drink vendors are quite friendly and located right outside the back (bus area) of the BART station. Rarely any problems here, but I wish they had attendants working there more often, just for customer reassurance. read more

Make sure you're not dyslexic if you plan on parking at Fremont BART... because if you mistakenly pay for parking space # 1776 instead of 1767, then you will be slapped with a $25 dollar ticket on your dash, like yours truly. and... who was the person that said public transport was cheap?!! read more

From the perspective of an occasional user of BART, I think this station is pretty clean, well-lit and convenient. It is located well in central Fremont, easily within walking distance to shops, etc. It is also located on a number of bus lines in Fremont as well as to San Jose connections. It is a distinct advantage to be at the end of the line because the trains stay here longer, meaning you can run your ass and catch one. All in all, I thought this was a good station. I also noticed parking spaces when I arrived at 10:30 AM so maybe people come back after they leave early in the morning? Next time, I will probably drive and take my chances with $1 parking rather than waiting for the $2 bus. read more

Touch it frequently. Being the end if the line it can get quite crowded on tge platform for a few seconds. Big parking lot and easy walking to some of Fremonts attractions. I'll jump on off there any time. read more

WHY THE HELL DID I NOT GET SOME KIND OF MEMO THAT THEY STARTED CHARGING A DOLLAR A DAY FOR PARKING?!? Damn you, Fremont BART. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU PLAN ON KEEPING TRACK OF WHO PAYS ANYWAYS?! Its sad that charges like this want me to lay of the public transit and drive my car (please no hate mail, I love trees too.) read more

This is the end of the line so you can't hop on the wrong bus. Transfer at Bayfair if you want to go to SF on a sunday. Everything about taking Fremont to SF is cool except that the round trip fare is 11.20. Shelling out 33.60 for me and my daughters (both under 10) seemed like a lot. I didn't see any child discounts at all but it say 4 years old and younger ride free. For 33.60 not driving or parking in SF rocks but with my Honda and 10 dollar parking it still would have cost less. But the novelty of a 1st time train ride for my kids was worth it so all in all it was alright. read more

DIRTY SEATS! Fast, comfortable and not too crowded but the seats did need some cleaning. I just wish people would bathe before coming onto the bart. STINKFEST! read more

Oooooh BART is my best friend. Back in the day when my friends and I didn't have cars, we would always use BART to get up to The City or Berkeley and it was always crackin. Love how it's always punctual. There's always a party on the BART haha great place to people watch. This station is aiite. Not a lot of parking but rarely ever use the lot. read more

Soooooo, it MAY be a little ridiculous that I'm reviewing public transportation but you know what? I DON'T CARE!!!! Bart is a total gamble. Sometimes you get a BART car that doesn't smell like urine, sometimes you do. Sometimes you get harassed by drunk, legless homeless people, sometimes you don't. Sometimes, if you're lucky, there will be debris on the tracks and your train will be delayed for an hour! I'm being a little bit negative here so some positive highlights from my adventures on good ol' Bay Area Rapid Transhit (typo, but I'm keeping it). - it costs only $12 a day! (sarcasm intended) and Bart will continue to raise fares but give you no perks in exchange (like, oh, i dunno, more direct trains to Fremont after 7:30 pm) - Fremont riders always get a seat in the morning - it only takes a little over an hour, one way, door-to-door. Driving would take me over 2 and cost me $97.23 in gas. - when you're drunk after having that one, last, drink, you can pass out on your way home (but may end up in Dublin if you don't wake up to transfer trains at Bay Fair station) - you might get shot rolling through Oakland (trust. my friend Mel --- hi Mel! -- had some guy waving a gun around during her Bart ride home a couple of years ago) Ride Bart with caution and don't be an idiot and not be mindful of where your wallet is. Don't ride by yourself (esp you ladies) past 10pm or you may have crazy trannies arguing with themselves and threatening to push themselves onto the tracks (true story: 12th/Mission station circa 2003). read more

This is the end of the line BART station or beginning of the BART line depending on how you look at it. Easy, close curb side drive in/out for drop off and pick up passengers. This is the BART station that my daughter couldn't find her car at when she rode the BART for the first time. She exited and ended up in the opposite parking lot from where she parked. Security patrol helped her locate her vehicle. Some tweeked out crack psycho tried to push my son on to the tracks at this BART station a few years ago. read more

Parking is great when I get there before 6:30am everyday. I'm able to get an end spot which makes it super easy to park. I find the parking to otherwise be difficult because the parking spots are somewhat small and the aisles between spots are really narrow. I hate that people smoke right outside of the station, which fills the station with cigarette smoke. After walking past a man smoking right in front of a no smoking sign I asked the attendant if there was something she could do about this while she fixed my Clipper card. She told me she couldn't and the BART police don't come by the station until 7am. Really, she was just being lazy and could have called the cops to come or made a PA announcement saying to please not smoke in no smoking areas, granted the man would have been gone by the time they had arrived. read more

If I still lived in Fremont and if I had to go to SF for work, then this would be the place I would go. Since all of that does not apply to me, I can't speak to the parking situation in the morning, but I do know from past experience that parking can be a little tough here if you come at the wrong time. The last few times I've been here, the parking situation was not bad for the evening. This place looked pretty much the same over the years. I'll be back in the future for sure. read more

The stations are pretty clean, but overall experience... My first time using BART: -cars could use some floor mopping (sticky from spills). Maybe a "needs cleaning" button could be installed in each car to help the company be informed/aware -it would help a lot if a station would have a sign listing all the stations in this specific line. Ex: I asked two people if this line would take me in a specific direction and both confirmed, after taking some time to think and...it took me in a totally different direction! Wasted time... -it would help if a small screen above the doors(or next to them) would show the name of the upcoming station. Subway systems in more primitive countries have that, even though their subway systems are more busier and complicated read more

What can I say? It's a BART station. The bathrooms are nasty. Parking here is never available unless you go after 3 pm (if you're commuting to SF from San Jose like I am, I would highly recommend making the drive to Millbrae Station or having a ride drop you off. There's also the VTA). However, compared to the quality of service offered by Caltrain the $6.15 ticket (one way) to SF seems a little hefty. Caltrain is cleaner (my only complaint is that it should offer more Baby Bullets) and you can even eat and drink! It's a little bit more expensive, but that's pretty much it. This station would be better if they increased DIRECT service from SF past 7 pm and if they built multiple parking structures as Millbrae does. Unfortunately, they don't have the land for that. read more

The station is conveniently located across the street from a really great plaza with the Fremont Philz and Frodo Joe's, a good brunch place, among several other food places. The station itself is relatively safe but not very clean and the bathrooms are usually dirty. It does have a lot of seating areas though which is good! read more

A ton fabber than all the other BART stations out there. And really, it's not BART's fault you forgot your parking space number. And as for the bathroom situation, I wouldn't think any public transportation bathroom would be clean at all. Just saying. read more

I like riding on BART. I love seeing the congregation of different people: thugs with old chinese women, business people with thugs. college students with single moms of thugs. Nothing violent ever breaks out, and people are respectable for the most part. Transferring between cars is probably one of the most anxiety inducing experiences. I get panic attacks even though I'm not even transferring. The Fremont BART station charges you a dollar per day for parking now, and that's kinda annoying. But it doesn't affect me because I get dropped off at the BART. BART arrives on time and departs on time so I have nothing to complain about. It's very desolate, however, and that makes me sad. Prices waiver between fair and high, depending on my mood. read more

Good station no complaints been ridin' bart since i was a youngin (goin on 20 this year). But parking after 8....lets just say it ain't gonna happen i parked on mowry the other day because there were no spots and got a ticket all the areas around bart have signs saying "NO BART PARKING" which just makes it really inconvenient idk they should do something about that problem. other than that like i said earlier no complaints. read more

On my first ride in Bart, I met a station agent Derek, who was super nice to me. I was new so Bart explained me the Bart system for California, helped me with the Sfo maps and even offered me a free 5 dollars voucher to my destination. For someone who was irritated with the honking drivers of California it was a fresh relief. The trains and stations are super clean and organized. The announcements are clean and keep you on your toes. I will definitely take Bart to avoid traffic in future! read more

Fremont BART Station is indeed one of the cleanest stations in the BART system. This is also a transfer point to Santa Clara VTA for anyone headed for Silicon Valley. San Jose, Santa Clara, . . . . Oh and AC Transit route 217 provides service between Fremont Station and Great Mall in Milpitas for passengers headed that way. read more

Clean bart station located in fremont right behind rally's and near the washington hospital! staff friendly and not as fancy compared to the sf locations. read more

I used this station for the first time yesterday. I was grateful to find a train that was going almost directly to my destination allowing me to read during my journey. This was my first time using BART. I found it a little frustrating that there were not clear signs at the station to direct people to parking areas. I did not realize that there was a small lot in front of the station and another larger lot in the back. There are no attendants anywhere to answer questions. When purchasing the ticket at the automated machine again there were not attendants anywhere near the machines to help people troubleshoot. BART is an great system but I think this particular station could make some improvements. By contrast the MacArthur Station appeared well attended and station employees and security were very visible. read more

For the everyday BART commuter, I can see how this station might be a nightmare. But for someone who has used this station 3-4 times tops in a matter of 10 yrs of so, it can be quite convenient when it is needed. This IS the closets station to San Jose, and I do wish that there was one that was closer... but we'll probably have to wait a number of years for that to happen.... When I did ride it once during the afternoon, parking seemed to be a bit crowded (during a weekday) but I did find a spot after about 5-6 minutes. One thing I do have to mention is that the ticket prices can be quite high. Although one thing that you have to factor in is how much it would cost you to park your single car (if you're driving) in the city and for how long. A one way ticket from here to Embarcadero station is $5.60, not too bad. I would probably use at least that much in gas alone just getting up there from S. San Jose. But this station is about 32-33 miles away from home, so there is a few dollars of gas there and a $1 all day parking fee in their lot. In short, I believe this BART station can be a luxury for to the infrequent rider such as myself. But commuters and frequent riders could face unpleasant train situations and parking fiascoes that would ruin their appreciation of BART. read more

Great line. Moves quick. Yes - there are vagrants at times wondering the trains, panhandling, sleeping, cleaning or even pleasuring themselves. If you can get past those facts, then this is a very enjoyable ride. read more

Nice public transportation spot in the suburbs of San Francisco. Trains to San Fran, Oakland, and Berkley (and everything in the middle) go out, and connect in with the local bus system, making commuting easy. Bike parking in these special "cages" is 3 cents/hr, which is less than the $1/day charge for cars. Both are limited though. All in all, a nice transport hub. Much cleaner/organized compared to most NYC stations. read more

I have taken the BART to get to get to Raiders & A's games! This station isn't the cleanest and for some reason they have 1 restroom ... Like 1 toilet for males and 1 for females so the line is stupid long! The bart app shows the times and they are pretty accurate! The parking is ok ... If you take the bart for any games make sure you get there a little early! The train stops right by the stadium so you wont have to walk long to get to the coliseum. The train itself has sone characters and it isn't the cleanest but if you want to drink a bit more than usual the bart is your thing ... The round trip ticket to the coliseum was $7.75 read more

Closest station for people in the south bay. Convenient when you don't feel like driving to the city. Sure, sometimes it a little ghetto, and it can get crowded when there are sport games going on, but hey, public transportation will always be useful and needed. Now they just have to bring a station to san jose (with a bigger parking lot please), and make it as nice as as efficient as the NY subways or subways in asia. That would be aweeesomeee. read more

I've only been here a handful of times to take the bart to SF usually haha. Last time I came here, it was to pick up my sister who came from Berkeley. The parking lot, especially on the right side when you come in, is ALWAYS full. Every time I've come here, we go there to see if there's parking, and there's never any. Inside the station is okay.. it's not new looking but it's not dirty either. It's just okay. I would rather take the bart sometimes than drive all the way to SF to save money but yeah. On the other hand, I'd rather sometimes just drive to SF instead of driving all the way to Fremont and then take the bart too. Just depending on the mood and day I guess. read more

It's a typical BART station. Don't be stupid and you'll be fine. Trains usually run on time; I haven't really encountered any delays. Tips? Travel in groups, if you can. Sometimes there are some sketchy folks around but as long as you don't bother them, you'll be okay. read more

There's usually lots of seats to choose from since it's the end of the line. Parking is free after 3pm, but it's a good walking distance if you live nearby. There's a deaf school in Fremont too, so it's fun practicing ASL. I usually take this BART to catch concerts at night in SF. The only downsides are that transfers are required to get to SF on Sundays, and the last trains are around midnight. I'd also suggest using restrooms elsewhere before you come. Every time I've used them, they were appalling. It's set up easier, so you have to scan your Clipper card before entering and exiting unlike the Caltrain. Can't wait for the Milpitas and San Jose extensions. read more

It's the end of the line, way down deep in the South Bay, but this Station Rocks. If you want to avoid the trucks and traffic on 880 this is the way to go, do doubt. read more

Fremont BART Station - Green hills of Fremont. View from Fremont BART Station. - Train Stations Near Me - Fremont, California

Convenient location, off of the Mowry Ave exit from 880 and near the Washington Hospital, Naz 8 Cinema, shopping, etc. The trains come with a reasonable frequency. This may sound strange, but I find it exciting to see the train turn around, as this is an end station. U Unfortunately, the bathrooms are not very sanitary, so I cannot give this station a 5. Actually, I'd say this is a general issue with BART stations. Still, this BART has been there for me a number of times: meeting friends in the area, or going from Santa Clara up to SF. I'll continue to use it. read more

Confusing parking area. No refund for parking & paid in the wrong area and moved the car to a different spot. So I paid $6 today for a day parking; which is $3 twice. The girl working there today was very unpleasant and rude. I can tell she wish she weren't working there this morning before 8 am. You guys should go to Taipei Metro and learn how to do customer service and run the mass transit system. There is just no comparison here. read more
