West Oakland is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station located in the neighborhood of West Oakland in Oakland. It has two elevated side platforms, and is located near the eastern end of the Transbay Tube. This is the easternmost station on the system's San Francisco branch, and all trains except those of the Richmond - Fremont line pass through this station. In late 2005 a parking program was implemented in which parking commuters at this station would have to pay $5 per day. This was implemented to raise revenues for BART, to bring parking costs at the station in line with parking at other local garages, and to ensure that since parking spaces had to be 'validated' inside the BART paid area, parking at the stations was going to be used for BART patrons only. The station was originally named Oakland West. See alsoExternal links
