The new Antioch station is seeing ridership well over predictions, and some think there would be even more riders if there were more parking.

The new Bay Area Rail Transit station is so popular the parking lot has been consistently full. "Opened in late May at a cost of $525 million, the 10-mile link from Pittsburg to Antioch is averaging 3,800 weekday riders — well above the 2,800 BART initially estimated," Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross write for the San Francisco Chronicle. The station has a little over 1,000 parking spaces and will add 770 more.
It's an interesting problem for an agency that's trying to get people out of their cars. But because the area has limited bus service, BART Board Director Joel Keller argues that adding more parking is warranted.
