A fire at BART's San Leandro station early Tuesday resulted in significant service disruptions, affecting trains across much of the East Bay and South Bay. Spokesperson Chris Filippi clarified that the blaze damaged train control equipment and a high-voltage electrical cable necessary for powering the third rail, leading to the shutdown of all service south of Oakland's Lake Merritt station. Passengers faced delays and were advised to seek alternate transportation. This incident follows an earlier service interruption due to a computer network failure earlier in May, marking a troubling trend for BART services.
