"With kind of the nice weather forecast and people not being able to go the last couple of years we are expecting a really fun day," said Jim Allison with BART. "This year is kind of different because we have five line service on Sundays now so we are hoping to provide even better service than we have in the past."
In years past, Pride Sunday has been BART's busiest Sunday service.
The Warriors parade was BART's busiest day since March 2020, and this Sunday's parade should be similar.
