Did you know... that the walls of Balboa Park station have "an apparently infinite variety" of patterns?

Dubious

The reason given for Balboa Park to be a transfer station instead of Daly City,

Although all four BART lines that pass through the station currently continue southward to Daly City, the Balboa Park Station design offers passengers transfers between trains without having to change platforms.

is not a valid reason, because, if passengers were transferring between trains in the same direction, they would not have to change platforms at either Balboa Park or Daly City (in Daly City, they have two platforms, a side platform with one track for southbound trains, an island platform with two tracks for northbound trains; in both cases, each direction is served by only one platform). And if they were transferring between trains in opposite directions, it would make no sense for them to transfer at Balboa Park (they would transfer at the soonest station where the lines were shared, to avoid travelling an extra distance). --208.80.119.67 (talk) 03:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually incorrect, at Daly City, SFO-bound trains use Platform 1. The (formerly-Southbound) trains that terminate at DC use Platform 2. To change between Platform 1 and 2 requires going downstairs at P2 and upstairs at P1. 108.94.167.69 (talk) 04:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refs #48 and #12 are broken. Prose and images all look fine, though is it possible to add more on the station's impact on the area around it? Pi.1415926535 WelpThatWorked (talk) 16:25, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed #12, and replaced #48. I'll try to find something on that, though I didn't come across a lot in my research. Unlike a lot of BART stations, Balboa Park was in an existing neighborhood and didn't attract a lot of development. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:13, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pi.1415926535 alright, I couldn't find anything either, so I think i'll just push it to GA. Nice job WelpThatWorked (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
