All Nighter Service
The All Nighter provides regional bus transit service from approximately 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 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 the 2004 $1 bridge toll increase for public transit.
Plan an All Nighter trip with the TakeTransit Trip PlannerSM
You can plan your All Nighter trip using the 511 TakeTransit Trip PlannerSM just like any other trip.
When selecting your trip day and time, remember to select "tomorrow" for trips that begin after midnight (12 am). Select "today" for trips that begin before midnight, but end after midnight. For example:
- If you are using the trip planner before midnight to plan a trip leaving your starting point at 1 am the following day, select "tomorrow" as the day of your trip (e.g. using the trip planner at 8 pm on Friday to plan a trip leaving your starting point at 1 am Saturday).
- If you are using the trip planner before midnight to plan a trip leaving your starting point at 11:45 pm the same day, but arriving after midnight, select "today" as the day of your trip (e.g. using the trip planner at 8 pm on Friday to plan a trip leaving your starting point at 11:45 pm Friday and arriving at your destination after midnight).
