BART - Walnut Creek Station

Parking must get there early. Long term parking is available, but get there before 10 am and it is guranteed. Signage is not good to find the permit places. Would take to SFO and park long term- sign up online and print out your reservation. Works well.

Walnut Creek station is pretty clean generally and well maintained. On the weekend parking is easy and plenty. Even the parking building structure seems in a good condition. Furthermore, the Bart train platforms are also clean, and the station is pretty clearly marked so it's easy to know which platform is for inbound/outbound. It's not my go to Bart station (as I prefer Pleasant Hill or Concord), but it's a really nice station in general.

Lots of new construction and housing in this area. I always liked the idea of living near a bart station - not even that I would have to use it all the time but it gives a feeling of being connected with all the hot spots around the bay.

I hop on bart here after a short walk. The station is new and clean with lots of parking and massive parking structures. On the train most people are wearing masks except for this one lady talking loudly on her cell phone.

'You get like this every year. It should never get to this point. Every year this happens.' Shes frustrated and is the sound board for her friend in some sort of yearly crisis. They were talking about some boyfriend - I think the problem was her friend was frustrated about the clothing he wore or maybe she thought this boyfriend was a different person until the moment when they moved in together.

Everybody is polite on this train except for loud woman on phone. Based off her uniform she is a security guard maybe going to work in the early afternoon. Generally if the people around you are stuck with you there is unspoken rule of not being so loud.

Overall a very pleasant experience this time. I've taken bart many times lately and its never really crowded and seemed safe. Once in a while there is some off person but I've never seen anybody act out.

Eh, by far not one of the worst BART stations but also far from being one of the best.

Pros -
- generally safe and little to no homeless (what you would expect in Walnut Creek)
- never too crowded, especially on the weekends
- convenient location to Downtown Walnut Creek (about 5-minute walk to edge of downtown and 10-minute to center of downtown)

Cons -
- a TON of construction in the parking lot and surrounding area - a bit dirty with debris and trash
- old station (needs a facelift)
- confusing navigating by car if this is your first time coming in due to construction and blocked entrances (signage isn't also super clear)

Walnut Creek BART Station is quiet, clean and not too crowded. My visits have only been on weekends. The only times I would likely park at this station is if I plan to take the train to downtown SF either for work, shopping or an event then take the train back here and re-park at the Target nearby to shop or drive to other places in Walnut Creek or Concord.

Fidelity, 24 hour CVS and some gas stations are very close. Free shuttles to Broadway Plaza. Either Highway 24 or Interstate 680 will get you here.

This is where I live and this is where I was born that's why I trust the WC BART Police Department like the medicine that was passed onto me that's why I am so smart! But since the past 32 years crime has gone way beyond what brings victims and everyday work from 9-5 to make a living. I have been an avid BART rider for over 32+ years since I was 16 years old when I first got on BART at 16 years old to get to S.F. And returned with a vengeance too! Again and again I repeatedly report pot smokers & WC BART police get into the train immediately to answer the call. I will not stand pot and narcotics and alcohol abuse and substance disorders or addiction problems amongst the public and deserves to be punishable under lawful means and mandatory sentences for repeat offenders! It's not okay and I mean business because the seriousness may be in my best interests to take off with it so suspects are taken into custody! Let's just see what it's like when we take action and trust each other's feelings BART Family is what I titled the phone number to call in my contacts! BART police provide a stimulating environment and let's make sure we never have to suffer BART car's being completely burned down or destroyed or the alternative fear of AK47 assault deadly weapons or bombs and threats of violence! I have been a victim so I am calling ahead before they get away with it ever!

I have slowly learned to love and appreciate public transit. Being from somewhere where there are no trains, I just expect to drive everywhere. While visiting town we stayed in Walnut Creek and planned on driving to downtown San Francisco and all over, and boy did we laugh about that the first 30 minutes of sitting in traffic there!

The BART system is probably the easiest and safest that I have used in the U.S. It only took us about 20-30 minutes to get into the city, and it was pretty easy to navigate how to get back as well. A lot more seating is offered than most others!

This station itself was pretty clean and simple to get through. It also has a very large parking lot and was walking distance from our hotel.

I don't often feel in danger at this stkation unless you count the danger of being bored. Though, I'm struggling to find a BART station that delivers it all... alas, feeling safe will be the priority then!

My twin sister often picks me up from here because it's near shopping that she can do as she waits, and we worked out all of our logistics here. She knows that I won't go off wandering down the road while she is waiting parked.

This station can get cold and windy. Walnut Creek does however have usually nicer weather so, take the good and bad.

If you see a bedraggled woman getting yelled at by her twin here that's me!

So spent $5.70 on a ride to Broadway Plaza. Bartable stated that the center was very close but no signage at the station and the maps wasn't very clear.

Ended up to be a nice short walk of 15 mins. Many shops between A and B starting off with Target.

Another Bay Bart Station, really. Hubby and I stopped by when on our way to the YEE at The Capitol One Cafe. For our less than 10 minute visit, everything went smoothly. There aren't as many homeless people at this station, but then again we visited during daylight.

The best thing about this bart station is the super close proximity, practically walking distance to the super cute Downtown area of Walnut Creek. If you haven't visited DWC, plan a day date and use Bart. Get off at this station and within a 10-15 minute walk, you're in the heart of Downtown Walnut Creek!

Original from LA, first time using the BART earlier this week while I was apartment hunting.
