The times on the app and the times on video monitors and the arrival displays have different information on each all at the same time.Example: I want to go from Berryessa to Hayward. All in all, it’s a good initiative but the app is mostly not usable compared to other more reliable apps at this time for the different features.īART Real Time is terrible both on the app and the stations, especially at Berryessa.

At least you would get a confirmation and often a live response back from a person when reporting via BART Watch app, so I’m not sure if my reports are going through. Hazards reporting is the worst, I have received no confirmation or replies each time I’ve reporting incidents from finding people taking residence in elevators to exposed injectable needles lying on seats. Advisory and outages are okay, it’s about 80% accurate for reporting escalator outages, but not perfect. It also only provides ETA down to minutes while other apps like BARTPro provide updates down to seconds and are also hooked to the BART API for accuracy. The scheduler and live ETA don’t work well after midnight but BART has trains up to an hour past midnight, so it is rough there. It’s a good initiative but it experiences issues on all of those attempts. This app appears to be an attempt at merging several different apps that address different issues: Schedule, Live ETA of train arrivals, hazards reporting, and advisories/outages.
