History

BART proposed a train station near the current location as part of the Marin Line in a report sent to the approving counties in 1961.[3] Marin's exit from the Bay Area Rapid Transit District halted these plans.

The current station opened to preview service on June 29, 2017; full commuter service commenced on August 25, 2017.[2][4]

gollark: Anyway, I would use Python but due to things I've become disillusioned with using it for webapps.
gollark: It isn't automatic. The mailing list server has to process it all.
gollark: I would use JS, if JS wasn't awful in all ways.
gollark: I do need working file uploads and such, if you want to be able to that.
gollark: Nim's HTTP stuff is somewhat incomplete, but I guess I can copy a lot of the code from minoteaur.
