Diagram of the cross-platform connections at the MacArthur BART station

The station's two island platforms and four main tracks basically serve as a cross-platform interchange, between the Pittsburg/Bay Point - Daly City Line, and both the Richmond - Daly City Line and the Richmond - Fremont Line. One island platform serves trains headed towards the 19th Street/Oakland station while the other platform serves trains bound for either Richmond or Pittsburg/Bay Point.

Passengers changing trains at this station should pay attention to the electronic train destination signs located on the platform. Occasionally, a train will board on the opposite side of the platform island. [Example: A train to Richmond may arrive on the side indicated as "to Pittsburg" on the station diagram]

At most times during the day, trains are timed to facilitate cross-platform transfers. Also, due to the single-track configuration of the southbound platform at 19th Street station, Fremont-bound trains (on the Richmond - Fremont Line) are held at the platform while the San Francisco train (on the Pittsburg/Bay Point - Daly City line) proceeds.
