Return of VTA light rail service delayed as inspections continue
Briefly

The VTA has announced the delay of light rail line reopenings, initially set for Monday morning, due to ongoing inspections and necessary repair work. Following a judge's ruling that deemed a workers' strike unjustified, full bus service resumed on Friday. However, maintenance delays, compounded by issues like copper wire theft, have further complicated the situation. Although there may be a chance for the Orange Line to reopen by Monday afternoon, the return of the Blue and Green Lines remains uncertain, with no set date for their service restoration and ongoing labor contract negotiations pending.
VTA is not ready to reopen any light rail lines as previously scheduled due to ongoing inspections and repairs, with full bus service resumed since Friday.
Inspections began after a judge ruled workers violated a no-strike clause, leading to the resumption of bus service while light rail restoration efforts continue.
VTA announced that repairs are also delayed due to necessary maintenance following theft incidents, impacting the timeline for resuming light rail operations.
While there is a possibility for the Orange Line to reopen Monday, Blue and Green Lines lack a clear timeline for service restoration.
