BART service resumes between West Oakland, 24th Street Mission station in San Francisco

By Tim Fang

Bay Area Rapid Transit service between Oakland and San Francisco has resumed Thursday morning following an equipment issue.

Around 8:30 a.m., the agency said there was no service between the West Oakland and 24th Street Mission stations, including the Transbay Tube, due to a “network engineering problem.” Commuters were being urged to use alternate means of transportation.

At 9 a.m., BART officials said service has resumed, with the agency saying riders should expect residual delays as service was being re-established.

Thursday’s outage comes after the Transbay Tube was shut down for several hours on Sunday after communication cables were damaged. The outage forced thousands to use buses and other forms of transportation to cross the bay.

Officials said Sunday’s outage was caused by an RV fire at a homeless encampment near the West Oakland station. It was unclear if the outages are connected.
