The Oakland Airport Connector is an automated guideway transit (AGT) system operated by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) between BART's Coliseum station and Oakland International Airport station. The line is colored on BART maps as the Beige Line.[3] The system is integrated into BART's fare system. The line opened for revenue service on November 22, 2014,[4] replacing the AirBART shuttle bus service that had operated since July 1, 1977. Currently operating between two terminal stations, the system includes provisions for an intermediate third station (Doolittle station) that may be built at a later date.[5]
In 2023, the line had a ridership of 429,900, or about 1,300 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2023.
