"Around 8:20 am on Thursday, all train service was halted between West Oakland and 24th/Mission stations due to a communication issue. BART experienced some new outage Thursday morning that stopped all transbay service and service through San Francisco's tunnels for around 40 minutes."
"The trouble began around 8:20 am, according to a tweet from BART, which referred to 'an equipment problem on the track.' The agency said that service had been restored as of a few minutes after 9 am."
"This is just another in a series of BART meltdowns that have occurred during the height of morning commute hours in the last year, though there have been other troubles, like Friday's outage, that occurred at later hours."
BART service between West Oakland and 24th/Mission stations stopped for approximately 40 minutes Thursday morning around 8:20 am due to an equipment problem on the track affecting communications. Service was restored by 9 am, though residual delays persisted systemwide. The cause remains unclear, though it may be related to communication cable damage from an encampment fire in West Oakland the previous Friday. This outage represents another significant disruption during peak morning commute hours, continuing a pattern of BART service failures throughout the past year.
