Enable Dark Mode

Dark Mode has been introduced to provide enhanced usability for each of the BART platforms. It can reduce power usage by a significant amount, and improve visibility for users with low vision and those who are sensitive to bright light. It’s easy to toggle on and off, depending on your preference.
