BART's entire train system was fully operational on Tuesday, following the reopening of its green line, which had been closed since May 20 due to fire damage. Repairs were expedited over the weekend to accommodate commuters. This incident adds to a series of disruptions, including a five-hour system shutdown on May 9 caused by computer network issues. On average, BART caters to approximately 170,000 passengers daily, emphasizing the importance of service reliability in public transit.
For the first time in a week, all of BART's train lines were available for the commute early Tuesday. The transit agency's green line re-opened for the first time since it was shut down on May 20 after a fire near the San Leandro station.
BART officials said repairs to the track have been ongoing since last week's blaze, and that around-the-clock work over the weekend got the line ready for the commute.
BART also suffered a shutdown to its entire system for more than five hours on May 9 after a network connectivity issue with the agency's computer system prevented visibility of trains in the operation control system.
BART serves about 170,000 passengers on a typical weekday.
