"While the Saturday night BART delays are not expected to kick in until 10 pm, late-night Saturday BART riders should bring a book or something, as trains in the Transbay Tube will be delayed by at least 20 or 30 minutes. The BART system has been getting a lot of guff lately over its equipment failures causing commuter delays, all while the system is asking taxpayers for more money and threatening to close entire stations if they don't get it. But in the case of some BART delays that are in store for this coming weekend, these are totally routine maintenance jobs that are planned in advance, and riders are given plenty of prior warning."
"BART crews will be in the Transbay Tube the evening of Saturday, February 21, to replace lights in the Tube. The work is scheduled to begin at 10pm and continue into the overnight hours. Riders can expect 20-30-minute delays through the Tube after 10pm as we reduce service from two tracks to one to provide crews with the safe workspace they need."
BART will perform planned light-replacement maintenance in the Transbay Tube beginning at 10pm on Saturday, February 21, and continuing into the overnight hours. Service will be reduced from two tracks to one to provide crews a safe workspace, producing 20–30-minute delays through the Tube after 10pm. Trains may stop outside the Tube, causing riders on either side of the Bay to wait longer. The delays affect the late-night window when BART runs until just after midnight on Saturday nights. The maintenance is routine and was announced in advance to riders.
