OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — BART announced it is extending its hours just in time for Friday’s Battle of the Bay game in Oakland.

The highly-anticipated San Francisco Giants-Oakland Athletics game starts at 6:40 p.m.

Fans will be treated with postgame fireworks and BART riders don’t have to worry about missing the lightshow.

BART said it will run until 12 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays.

In addition, BART has added four extra trains for the game to get fans back home faster.

The three-game series kicks of Friday at the Oakland Coliseum. Saturday and Sunday’s games will begin at 1:07 p.m.

We're very excited to share @Athletics and @SFGiants fans staying for the postgame fireworks tonight at Coliseum can rely on BART to head home after. BART now runs until 12am weekdays and Saturdays.

And we've planned 4 extra event trains to whisk fans back home faster. 🚆🎆🙏 https://t.co/bZcYR8c5qf
