Orinda station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Orinda, California. The station has an island platform in the center median of State Route 24. It is served by the Yellow Line. An abstract mural by Win Ng, partially covered by advertisements, is located in the fare lobby. [3]
The BART Board approved the name "Orinda" in December 1965. [4] Service at the station began on May 21, 1973, following the completion of the Berkeley Hills Tunnel, which connects it to Rockridge station. [5]
In 2008, BART added solar panels over parking areas at Orinda station, as well as the Richmond and Hayward maintenance yards. The $3.8 million project was expected to provide all station electrical needs during daylight hours. [6]
Thirteen BART stations, including Orinda, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. Orinda was the last station to be modified; the new faregate in the lobby was installed in July 2023. [7]
