Antioch is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station on the planned eBART line under construction east of Pittsburg/Bay Point, the current terminus of the Pittsburg/Bay Point–SFO/Millbrae line. It will be located in the median of Highway 4 at Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch, California. Initially planned to open in 2016, the station's service date has been delayed until 2018. eBART is a quicker, more cost-effective way to introduce BART further out in to east Contra Costa County .DesignIt will be the eastern terminus of eBART, BART's first diesel multiple unit (DMU) line, which will extend from the Pittsburg/Bay Point station, passing through Pittsburg. Antioch Station will service the central area of Antioch in addition to this bedroom community's residents commuting to job centers in San Francisco and other areas. It is also expected to attract passengers from Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, and Rio Vista, cities that were envisioned as part of the original extension but could not be included due to cost. BART plans to eventually extend service southeast to Brentwood and if foreseeable upgrade the extension to full BART service while pushing the DMU portion further out.
