Pittsburg / Bay Point is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in the community of Bay Point, California. As the terminal station of the Pittsburg / Bay Point – SFO Line, it serves all of northern and eastern Contra Costa County, including the cities of Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood, as well as the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

History

The station opened on December 7, 1996. The eBART extension is an under construction DMU train from Pittsburg / Bay Point to the cities of Pittsburg, Oakley, Antioch, Byron, Brentwood and Discovery Bay, and as of 2010 the extension's first phase included stations in Pittsburg/Railroad Avenue and Antioch/Hillcrest Avenue.[3] This station is in BART District 2 and is represented by Joel Keller.[4] In May 2008 a Library-a-Go-Go machine was added at this station, it is a vending machine that offers library books from the Contra Costa County Library system.[5] This was BART's first book vending machine and the first on a transit system in the nation.[5]

A child was born in the parking lot of the station on November 26, 2012.[6]
