Location

Daly City station is an elevated Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Daly City, California, just south of the city limits of San Francisco. It is adjacent to Interstate 280 and California Route 1, which it serves as a park-and-ride station. The station is served by the Red, Yellow, Green Line, and Blue lines.

From its November 5, 1973 opening until the extension to Colma station in 1996, Daly City was the southern terminus of BART on the Peninsula and the only station that was not in one of the three base counties of San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa.[3] It still serves as the southern terminus for the Green and Blue lines, which do not continue to other San Mateo County stations.

The island platform is used primarily by northbound trains and by southbound trains terminating at the station.
