Equipment failure early Friday forced transit officials to single track BART trains through the the Transbay Tube, triggering major delays getting into San Francisco during the morning commute.
Bus bridges have been set up. Officials advised commuters to seek alternate forms of transportation board A/C Transbay buses. At Ashby it's the F bus, at Fruitvale the O bus and at 19th St. the NL bus.While there was no immediate word if the issue is the same, the advisory stirred up memories among passengers of the woes the system suffered on Sunday.
Trouble began on Sunday around 10:20 a.m. when BART officials tweeted alerting passengers of a 20-minute delay on trains because of an equipment issue."BART service has stopped in the Transbay Tube due to multiple due to multiple disabled trains between Embarcadero and Lake Merritt," officials tweeted just after 11 a.m."Seek alternate forms of transportation until further notice.
At around 11:30 a.m., officials tweeted that the disabled train near West Oakland was being moved. Maintenance crews have responded to the trackside issue in that area, which was related to "cover boards" --the equipment that covers the third rail -- on the track."We have 2 trains on the Oakland side that won't move," BART officials tweeted."One train is near West Oakland and one near 12th St. Crews are on scene and troubleshooting.
Shortly after 12 p.m., BART officials said one of the disabled trains was cleared and that service was being restored.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
