Daly City station
Daly City station is an elevated Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in Daly City, California, just south of the city limits of San Francisco. It is adjacent to Interstate 280 and California Route 1, which it serves as a park-and-ride station. From its November 5, 1973 opening until the extension to Colma station in 1996, Daly City was the southern terminus of BART on the Peninsula and the only station that was not in one of the three base counties of San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa. It still serves as the terminus for  some services that do not continue to the other San Mateo County stations. Station layout. The station has three tracks with an island platform between the east tracks and a side platform next to the west track. The side platform is used primarily by southbound trains continuing on to SFO Airport or Millbrae. The island platform is used primarily by northbound trains and by southbound trains terminating at the station. Southbound trains terminating at Daly City reverse their direction to make the return trip to San Francisco and the East Bay, unless they are going out of service at the  rail yard in Colma.
