It is the largest station in the BART system, being the only one with four platform tracks. Service through MacArthur
1372-554: The city of Oakland wanted to call the station "MacArthur", while BART preferred "Oakland North". A BART committee selected "MacArthur" in October 1965, rejecting a proposal for "Temescal". The BART Board approved the name in December 1965. MacArthur station opened on September 11, 1972, as the northern terminus of the inaugural BART line (now the Orange Line) which ran to Fremont . Due to
1421-582: The coordination of the lines' timetables to reduce the scheduled changing time, either from one line to the other, or ideally bidirectionally, between both trains simultaneously. Coordinated interchange is widely used in Dutch , German , and Swiss railway networks, where trains of different lines meet at the same platforms in numerous hubs all over the country. Most advanced are coordinated cross-platform interchanges wherein interconnected trains also wait for each other, to "guarantee" scheduled interchanges even in

Several cross platform interchanges are under construction across
1764-560: The other side, with both alternatives headed in the same direction. As express and stopping trains usually head for different directions, cross-platform interchange between different train categories (e.g. interchanges between metros and railways) is commonly combined with cross-platform interchanges between different lines. Some stations offer cross-platform transfers between different modes, such as tram and bus, such as at Madeleine station in Charleroi, where two island platforms sit between
1813-829: The past terminated in the south there, alternating on both East/West Rail platforms to offer cross-platform interchanges. At Sunny Bay , passengers on the Tung Chung line from the city can make a cross-platform interchange to a Disneyland Resort line train.

Putra Heights offers cross-platform interchange between Sri Petaling Line (Line 4) and Kelana Jaya Line (Line 5) while Chan Sow Lin offers cross-platform interchange between Ampang Line (Line 3) and Sri Petaling Line (Line 4). Tun Razak Exchange and Kwasa Damansara also offers cross-platform interchange between MRT Kajang Line and
1862-563: The respective return directions of both lines sharing a different island platform in the same station complex. Less common is a cross-platform interchange to transfer onto a continuation of same single line served by that station, for example in Kirkby , Ormskirk , and Pittsburg/Bay Point . Common cross-platform interchanges allow passengers to change trains without changing to another platform. This applies at places where trains of different directions meet in minor and major hubs, but this arrangement
1911-604: The same elevation, and interconnecting passageways were regulated with one instead of two sets of ticketing barriers. After the merger, some sections of the barrier were demolished in order to provide free cross-platform interchange between southbound Tung Chung Line and northbound West Rail line trains. However, this arrangement does not serve the dominant rush hour passenger flows, which are between New Territories and Hong Kong Island , as well as between Lantau Island and Tsim Sha Tsui . To connect East Rail and West Rail lines at Hung Hom without through-running, both lines were in

2058-413: The site began in mid-2011; it opened on September 15, 2014. A 90-unit residential building was constructed in 2013–2016, followed by a 385-unit residential complex with 33,000 square feet (3,100 m ) of retail space constructed in 2015–2020. The latter project included a reconstruction of the plaza outside the station: planters were removed, a new concrete surface added, and a 200-space bike station
2107-688: The terminating rail for the North–South Line aligned between that of the East–West Line, allowing commuters to alight and board simultaneously on either side, with an additional rail for the North–South Line used during peak hours. Tanah Merah MRT station also has a similar arrangement, with the terminating rail for the East West line Changi Airport Extension aligned between the two the East West line platforms, allowing commuters to alight and board simultaneously on either side too. The Bayfront MRT station
2156-541: The tracks, connected by level corridors. The benefit of this design is that passengers do not need to use stairs to another platform level for transfer. A cross-platform interchange arrangement may be costly to build due to the complexity of rail alignment, especially if the railway designers also arrange the track with flyovers (which is typically done to increase efficiency). A typical bidirectional cross-platform interchange configuration consists of two outbound directions of two different lines sharing an island platform, and
2205-458: The trains are coordinated in the timetable. In this case, the cross-platform infrastructure offers the possibility of easily changing trains, independently from the waiting time for the second train. In metro systems with short headways, typical waiting time is small, but such a noncoordinated approach could reduce the advantages of stairless cross-platform interchange in railway networks with sparser train traffic. A more-advanced approach involves
2254-694: The two lines share a portion of the same track. Shenzhen metro network includes cross-platform interchanges at Laojie (Lines 1 and 3), Huangbeiling (Lines 2 and 5), Chegongmiao (Lines 7 and 9), Hongshuwan South (Lines 9 and 11), Nanyou (Lines 9 and 12), Huangmugang (Lines 7 and 14), Gangxia North (Lines 11 and 14), and Universiade (Lines 14 and 16) stations.

As of 2024 , BART does not anticipate development on a smaller agency-owned parcel on the west side of SR 24 until the 2030s. MacArthur station has two island platforms and four tracks, allowing cross-platform interchanges between lines. Outer tracks 1 and 2 serve
2352-586: Was opened and took over the southern half of the Modified Initial System . The interchange is two platforms in sequence, with an opposite-direction cross-platform interchange assigned to Prince Edward and a same-direction interchange to Mong Kok, as large volumes of traffic had been anticipated in both modes. Popular with passengers, this design was repeated on Admiralty station when the Island line in Victoria
2401-645: Was opened to deal with anticipated heavy opposite-direction interchange ridership. Years later, another interchange spanning Tiu Keng Leng station (same direction) in the New Territories and Yau Tong station (opposite direction) in New Kowloon was built to the same configuration as the earlier Mong Kok and Prince Edward interchanges. The Ma On Shan line is specifically designed to follow right-hand traffic rules (unlike other railway lines in Hong Kong), to enable
