Richmond Station is an at-grade Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Amtrak station located in Richmond, California. Each system is served by an island platform. The Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins, California Zephyr, and Coast Starlight stop here and connect to BART. The station is currently being rebuilt. The Metro Walk - Richmond Transit Village is adjacent; north of the station is a BART rail yard. Richmond is the north end of BART's Richmond Line; the Richmond - Millbrae Line operates Monday-Saturday during the daytime (although the line does not travel south of Daly City on Saturdays) and the Richmond - Fremont Line operates at all times during regular BART service. This station has been identified as an important hub in the transportation network for metropolitan and state wide planning.^[4]

BART service at this station began January 29, 1973.^[5]

The station is served by two bus agencies. AC Transit provides a variety of local and regional service. Buses connect the station to various locations such as Contra Costa College, Hilltop Mall, El Cerrito del Norte BART Station, which is a regional bus hub with connecting services to the North Bay, and Richmond Parkway Transit Center. Routes 70, 71, 72M, 74, and 76 provide local intra-city service and also feeder service into the BART and Amtrak systems. They link to Richmond neighborhoods and neighboring communities of Marina Bay, Belding Woods, Point Richmond, Atchison Village, Hilltop, El Sobrante, El Cerrito, East Richmond, North Richmond, Rollingwood, and Pinole. Routes 376 and 800 both provide late night service. The former is a late night circulator combing the most popular portions of the local lines running until 2 AM while the 800 runs a route which emulates the BART's Richmond-Daly City line between Richmond and downtown San Francisco during the hours that BART is closed. It is the main route in the All Nighter regional Bay Area network. Route 42 is a link between the Golden Gate Transit service area in Marin County and the AC Transit area in Contra Costa County, the line connects San Rafael Transit Center a major GGT hub in San Rafael with Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte BART stations. There is also a free Kaiser Shuttle service to the nearby Richmond Medical Center.

A transit store opened at the station in August 2008, joining other major stations in the system.^[6]

Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Richmond was the sixteenth-busiest in FY2010, boarding or alighting an average of about 750 passengers daily.^[3]
