Track Failure Near San Bruno Triggers Major BART Delays

BART gave no repair timeline, leaving riders to rely on temporary shuttles.

Overview

  • BART, which reported a track equipment failure Thursday morning near San Bruno, warned of major delays on the SFO Line in the Antioch, Richmond, SFO and Millbrae directions.
  • Service was later limited on the Red Line between Richmond and Daly City and on the Yellow Line between Antioch and Colma.
  • BART deployed shuttle trains to cover gaps on affected segments, including a shuttle running between San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae.
  • SamTrans added buses to help riders, with Route 142 and the southbound EPX running between San Bruno and SFO and the ECR operating between Millbrae and Daly City.
  • The agency gave no estimate for when normal service would resume, which strained airport trips and commutes as Peninsula issues often slow linked rail corridors.
