Fruitvale is a metro station of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system located in the Fruitvale District of Oakland, California. The station consists of two elevated side platforms with the concourse mezzanine at ground level. The redevelopment of the immediate station area from a parking lot to a mixed-use "transit village" has served as a model for transit-oriented development planning elsewhere in the Bay Area. Service at this station began on September 11, 1972.[3]

Alameda Bicycle operates a bike station here.

BART Police shooting of Oscar Grant

On January 1, 2009, BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot and killed Oscar Grant III at the Fruitvale BART station. At around 2:15 a.m. PST, BART Police were responding to reports of a fight on a BART train inbound from San Francisco. Grant was face down on the platform, but Mehserle later said that he couldn't get Grant's arms and feared that he was reaching inside his waistband. Mehserle drew his service weapon (later saying that he had intended to use his Taser weapon) and shot him in the back. Grant died seven hours later at Highland Hospital in Oakland.[4] Video recorded by other riders at the scene were later aired on local television.[5] In 2013 a movie was made about this incident, filmed on location, titled Fruitvale Station.
