BART Service Disruption Affects Thousands in East Bay

Equipment failures halt Red and Orange line trains between Richmond and Oakland, causing significant commuter delays.

Early morning equipment issues forced a shutdown of BART's Red and Orange lines, disrupting the commute for many East Bay residents.
No service was available from Richmond to MacArthur stations as of early Friday, with partial service resuming and then stopping again.
Commuters were advised to use alternative transportation options including bus bridges and shuttles provided by BART and AC Transit.
Crews were actively troubleshooting the issue, with no clear estimate on when full service would be restored.
Other BART lines, including Yellow, Green, and Blue, continued to operate normally despite the disruptions.
