Take BART to the Chinese New Year Parade!
Exit at the Montgomery or Powell Street Stations. The parade starts on Market, goes up Geary, down Post and ends on Kearny at Columbus. To plan your trip, visit BART.gov.
To avoid long ticket lines, buy a round trip ticket for the parade in advance at any BART station (tickets have no time limit). This is particularly helpful for families or groups traveling together -- each person must have their own ticket and will skip long lines at the ticket machines by purchasing them in advance. To calculate your round trip fare ahead of time, visit BART Ticket Calculator.
To purchase your discount tickets in advance: Purchase online at BART Discount Tickets or at one of the locations listed at BART Retail Sales. Enter your zip code to find the location closest to you to purchase tickets, and make sure to call first to make sure that they have the tickets you need available.
(Note - you can visit BART Ticket Types for information about discount tickets for Seniors or Persons with Disabilities.)
