BART Restores Transbay Service After Brief Network Failure
The breakdown came days after RV‑fire damage shut the Tube, with no confirmed connection between the incidents.
Overview
- BART halted trains between West Oakland and 24th Street Mission around 8:30 a.m. because of a network engineering problem.
- Service resumed shortly after 9 a.m., and riders were told to expect residual delays as operations were re-established.
- The shutdown lasted roughly 45 minutes and was attributed to a computer network hardware failure, according to the agency.
- Riders were directed to AC Transit buses and Bay Area ferries, while Muni provided support between Embarcadero and Daly City stations.
- A separate shutdown on Sunday was blamed on RV-fire damage to communications cables near West Oakland, with no verified link to Thursday’s failure.
