The All Nighter is a night bus service network in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Portions of the service shadow the rapid transit and commuter rail services of BART and Caltrain, which are the major rail services between San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, and San Jose. BART and Caltrain do not operate owl service so that track maintenance can be performed; the All Nighter network helps fill this service gap. The slogan is, "Now transit stays up as late as you do!"
The service launched initially in December 2005, and fully launched in March 2006. BART and Caltrain riders who previously faced uncoordinated substitute bus transit service after midnight can now take advantage of the coordinated All Nighter bus service.
The service is operated by AC Transit, Muni, SamTrans, and VTA. The agencies have a network of timed transfers, and half-hourly weekend service was implemented between downtown San Francisco and several BART stations along the Richmond and Fremont lines. AC Transit Route 800 operates along Market Street in San Francisco; this is the first AC Transit route to operate anywhere within San Francisco beyond the Transbay Terminal.
Open Highway, It's just me and this empty road ahead
Thinking of life, thinking of home
Our destination seems so far
I hope we never get there
Chorus:
It's times like these,
The little things
Capture this moment in time
Everyone's asleep
They're dreaming deep
This music it drives me farther
Cool night breeze,
The sky is clear
The moon shines light upon this road
Wyoming skyline
Mountains fly by
This time is ours
How I feel so blessed
