Fruitvale is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station located in the Fruitvale District of Oakland.
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.[1]
