Out of the five lines currently in service, the Richmond–Fremont Line is the oldest, opening in September 1972. The Pittsburg/Bay Point–SFO Line was opened a year later. The Richmond–Millbrae Line and the Fremont–Daly City Line were added to the system in 1980 and 1985 respectively. The system experienced its first major expansion in 1996 and 1997, beginning services to Concord, Colma and Pleasanton, which is currently served by BART's newest line—the Dublin/Pleasanton–Millbrae Line. In mid-2003, extension to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae was completed, bringing BART further south into the San Mateo County.
