The Blue Line is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) line in the San Francisco Bay Area that runs between Dublin/Pleasanton station and Daly City station. It has 18 stations in Dublin, Pleasanton, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Oakland, San Francisco, and Daly City.
The Blue Line shares much of its track with other BART services. The eastern segment which is unique to it is located in the median of Interstate 580, as are its three unique stations of Castro Valley, West Dublin/Pleasanton, and Dublin/Pleasanton.
History
Of BART's five primary rapid transit services, the Blue Line was the most recent to open. Service began when the Dublin/Pleasanton extension opened on May 10, 1997.[2] The Template:Station link infill station was added to the line on February 19, 2011.[3]
SFO/Millbrae extension service
When the SFO/Millbrae extension opened on June 22, 2003, BART extended the Blue Line to SFO. BART truncated the Blue Line back to Template:Station link and rerouted the Yellow Line to Template:Station link in its place on February 9, 2004. San Mateo County is not a member of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, so SamTrans funded the county's BART service. When the extension's lower-than-expected ridership caused SamTrans to accrue deficits, BART agreed to SamTrans' request to operate only this line south of Daly City effective September 12, 2005.
SamTrans and BART reached an agreement in February 2007 in which SamTrans would transfer control and financial responsibility of the SFO/Millbrae extension to BART, in return for BART receiving additional fixed funding from SamTrans and other sources.[4] BART has since again increased service south of Daly City, but this line now terminates at Daly City.

2019–2022 changes
On February 11, 2019, the Blue Line began operating between MacArthur station and Dublin/Pleasanton station on Sundays. The change was to allow single-tracking in the Market Street subway during electrical work, with only the Yellow Line running through the Transbay Tube to serve San Francisco.[10]
Sunday service to San Francisco and Daly City resumed on February 16, 2020. From February 16, 2020, to September 13, 2020, and again from March 22, 2021, to August 1, 2021, trains terminated at Montgomery station during single-tracking work.[11][12] From September 14, 2020, to March 21, 2021, and again from August 2, 2021, onwards, trains terminate at Template:Station link during single-tracking work.[13][14]
