"BART service was stopped between Hayward and Berryessa in San Jose because of equipment that was vandalized. Green Line trains from Daly City are going as far as Bayfair. Orange Line trains from Richmond are going as far as Hayward. Travelers are being asked to find another mode of transportation. AC Transit sent some extra buses to help. Riders at the Hayward station trying to travel south were left stranded and trying to figure out how to get to work."
"BART Spokesperson Chris Filippi said this is different from past service disruptions they've had. "There's no indication at this point that it is a networking issue," Filippi said. "All indications are that there was damage that was done to wayside equipment. That's equipment in the trackway. And we do have our crews responding and we are looking into this as a possible case of vandalism.""
