This API is best for developers building apps that need live information about BART
Developers would use BART API to create apps that help commuters in the Bay Area track train schedules and avoid delays. The API provides real-time information about train arrivals and departures, as well as current elevator and escalator status. Commuters can easily check parking and bike storage availability at stations before they arrive. Developers can also build custom interfaces for their apps with BART data.
