The Richmond - Daly City Line of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in the San Francisco Bay Area consists of 19 metro stations from Richmond to Daly City. It passes through El Cerrito, Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. Throughout its journey, it shares its tracks with other lines.

This line operates during the daytime, Monday through Saturday. There is no service on weeknights, Saturday nights, or at any time on Sundays. For service to/from Richmond and Daly City/San Francisco at those times, passengers must transfer between the Pittsburg/Bay Point Line and the Richmond - Fremont Line.

When BART officially opened the extension to the San Francisco International Airport on June 22, 2003, this line still terminated at the Daly City Station. On February 9, 2004, in order to attract more riders, BART extended this line's service to the airport and Millbrae during peak hours. The original service plan for this line was for trains to go straight from San Bruno to Millbrae, travel to the airport, and then go back towards San Francisco. This was changed a few months later to allow trains both coming and going from Millbrae to stop at the airport. However, BART, at the urging of SamTrans (which pays the operating expenses for BART's SFO extension), announced on August 11, 2005, that it was scaling back service on this line; effective September 12, 2005, all Richmond trains once again terminate at Daly City Station, with the exception of some special trains in the peak hours which terminate at Colma Station[1]

BART lines are usually not referred to by the color that identifies them on official system maps, so this line is rarely called the Red Line, and the term is never used by BART officials. It is sometimes called the Richmond Line.
