DUBLIN/PLEASANTON (BART STATION)

'Dublin/Pleasanton' (originally East Dublin/Pleasanton) is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station on the border of Dublin and Pleasanton. The station is fed by twenty local and regional bus lines from five different providers.
The station consists of an island platform located in the center median of Interstate 580. Parking lots for the station are located on both sides of the freeway. It is somewhat unique in that trains travel down a long, somewhat rural stretch of Interstate 580 between Castro Valley and Dublin to get to the station. Another unique feature is that it has transit service to the city of Modesto, over 55 miles away. Local bus service is provided by WHEELS.
Service at this station began on May 10, 1997. ^[5]
The station was originally supposed to be called ''East'' Dublin/Pleasanton and was shown as so on maps, this was to differentiate between the West Dublin/Pleasanton station which was planned but whose construction did not begin until 2007. However the station will keep its current name when the ''west'' station opens in 2009.
The station is served by All Nighter bus service between midnight and the beginning of service in the morning.
