Take a ride on a BART starship this May the Fourth

This May the Fourth, BART invites the public on an epic journey through a galaxy far, far away.

On Sunday, May 4, BART will transform a train into a special starship to set the scene for an epic 90-minute ride in celebration of May the Fourth. Bring friends or travel solo. Either way, you’ll leave with an alliance of like-minded pals.

Travelers should dress in apparel fitting for a May the Fourth celebration (please leave the blasters on your home planets). Prizes will be awarded to the best costumes. The admiral of our ship will look kindly on you for incorporating BART into your outfit. During the trip, you can expect live music, more contests, trivia, May the 4th decor, and plenty of surprises.

Voyage itinerary

We will depart MacArthur Spaceport at 4pm and make the jump into hyperspace to reach Pittsburg/Bay Point, a space station on the Outer Rim of our system. Our ship will then turn around and make its way back to MacArthur Spaceport with an estimated arrival time of 5:30pm. Pre-boarding will start at 3pm.

Our ship will make no stops for the duration of the 90-minute ride, so attendees should eat and use the restroom before departure. Artificial gravity will be provided for passenger comfort.

Load up your Clipper card

Space on our vehicle is limited, and reservations are required via Eventbrite. There is no cost to attend other than paying your BART fare.

The e-ticket you receive from Eventbrite is NOT your BART fare. Every participant must have a Clipper card. Make sure you have at least $7.10 (BART’s excursion fare) on the card.
