12th Street/Oakland City Center is an underground Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station located under Broadway between 11th Street and 14th Street in Downtown Oakland, adjacent to the Oakland City Center. It is the busiest BART station in both Oakland and the East Bay, and the 5th busiest BART station overall, with a daily ridership of approximately 14,000 in September 2019.[2]

Sunday-only service to the station on the Dublin/Pleasanton line began as part of service changes effective February 11, 2019; on Sundays, the station serves as a transfer point between the Dublin/Pleasanton line and Transbay service.[3] Sunday Dublin/Pleasanton service will be rerouted back to San Francisco on February 16, 2020.[4]
