All Nighter Bus Service

The All Nighter provides regional bus transit service from approximately 1 to 5 a.m., connecting BART stations, Caltrain stations, and beyond. It is operated by a consortium of regional transit agencies that have coordinated their late-night bus schedules to create convenient timed transfers between routes. All Nighter service is funded by Regional Measure 2, the 2004 $1 bridge toll increase for public transit.

	All Nighter schedules, maps, and fares are available on the 511.org website at transit.511.org/providers/night.asp.

TALC's role in bringing the All Nighter service into existence
In 2001, TALC proposed and began advocating for the All Nighter because -- prior to the service -- the lack of late-night BART service made it difficult for night-shift workers, those who stay out late for social engagements, and others to get around safely and easily after midnight. Many people asked for BART to run 24-hours a day. Unfortunately, maintenance requirements make it necessary for BART to be closed for several hours each night, and low passenger levels after midnight would make it expensive to run BART trains during those hours.

To help bring the All Nighter from concept to reality, TALC played a leading role in developing Regional Measure 2, a one-dollar bridge toll increase to fund public transit, which funds a number of projects, including the All Nighter. TALC played a leading role in building grassroots and media support for the plan, which was passed by 56% of the voters.

While the five participating transit agencies developed and implemented the service, TALC provided further assistance by coordinating the initial public outreach for the All Nighter, including the press conference which launched the service on March 21, 2006. Below are some photos from the press conference. You can also read media coverage of the launch.
