Hayward station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Hayward, California, serving Downtown Hayward and the surrounding areas. It is served by the Orange and Green lines. The elevated station has two side platforms. A two-lane bus terminal is located on the northeast side of the station. A pedestrian tunnel under the Union Pacific Railroad Oakland Subdivision connects the fare lobby to a parking lot and a five-level parking garage.

History

[edit]
The 1998-opened parking garage

The BART Board approved the name "Hayward" in December 1965.[3] A $1.21 million construction contract was awarded in June 1968.[4] The station opened on September 11, 1972.[5] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including Hayward, were completed in the months following the opening.[6][7]

AC Transit bus service began serving Hayward station when it opened.[8] On November 21, 1977, SamTrans began operating service between Hayward station and San Mateo via the San Mateo–Hayward Bridge.[9] It was discontinued in August 1999.[10] AC Transit resumed service over the bridge in March 2003, operating its route M between Castro Valley and Hillsdale via Hayward.[11] The route was cut back from Castro Valley to Hayward in March 2010, and was suspended in 2020.[12][13][14]

A transit-oriented development (TOD) project, which replaced the surface parking lots on the northeast and south sides of the station, was completed in 1998. It included a parking garage, townhomes, a new city hall, and a Greyhound Lines bus station.[15][16]: 7  Seismic retrofitting of the parking garage took place in 2009–2010.[17] As of 2024, BART anticipates soliciting developer proposals by 2028 for additional TOD at the station.[16]: 16
