“The BART Board of Directors has voted to reinstate a face mask requirement effective immediately until and inclusive of October 1, 2022, unless further extended by the board,” BART said in an announcement last night.. “The temporary amendment to the District’s Code of Conduct requires riders to wear face masks that fully covers a person's nose and mouth in paid areas of the system with limited exceptions. This requirement applies to trains and all portions of stations beyond the fare gates.”

“Free masks are available at station agent booths and from all safety staff for those who need one,” the announcement says, and adds that “Children ages two and under as well as people with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing masks are exempt from the mandate.”
