San Leandro station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station located off Davis Street (Route 61/122) in downtown San Leandro, California. The station has two elevated side platforms, with the faregates at ground level. The station is served by the Orange, Green, and Blue lines.

It opened on September 11, 1972 – part of the first BART line.[2] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including San Leandro, were completed in the months following the opening.[4][5]
