All Nighter (bus service)

The All Nighter is a night bus service network in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

[1][2] BART performs overnight maintenance on its tracks, which requires the agency to shut down third rail power.

[3] The agencies have a network of timed transfers, and half-hourly weekend service was implemented between downtown San Francisco and several BART stations along the Richmond and Fremont lines.

The late night Route 22 has earned the nickname "Hotel 22" for the homeless that form the majority of riders for the overnight runs.

[6] In January 2019, VTA proposed cutting service on Route 22 between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. to help close a budget deficit.

[5][14] This route was discontinued effective December 28, 2008 due to budgetary problems and low ridership.

[5] Route 810 was discontinued effective June 27, 2009 due to budgetary problems and low ridership.

[21] In September, the Working Group announced that BART would test more frequent service for AC Transit route 800, cutting headways from 30 to 20 minutes, and introduce service from San Francisco to Pittsburg/Bay Point BART via a new AC Transit route 822.

Service in the South Bay is provided by the VTA in Santa Clara County between Palo Alto and San Jose.

The All-Nighter network operates primarily in dense areas centered on Oakland and San Francisco.
