As a result, the Red Line and Green Line were closed.
The Green Line runs between the Berryessa/North San Jose and Daly City stations, and the Red Line runs from Richmond to Millbrae.
BART advised riders who normally use the Green Line from San Francisco to board a Dublin/Pleasanton train and transfer at the Bayfair station to a Berryessa/North San Jose train. Those traveling from the Berryessa/North Berryessa station were advised to board a Richmond-bound train and transfer to a Daly City-bound train at the Bayfair station.
Red Line riders were told to take a shuttle between the San Francisco International Airport station and Millbrae station, where they can transfer to a Yellow Line train that runs to Antioch. Richmond riders traveling to Millbrae were told to take the Orange Line toward Berryessa/North San Jose, and then transfer to MacArthur Station to a Yellow Line train.
BART had no estimate for when it’s lines would be open.
The problem was just the latest in the ongoing service issues BART has had since May. Just last month, BART endured two straight Mondays in which issues interrupted the commute. A week before that, the agency had to shut down one of its lines and suspend service on the other.
In September and in May, the agency had system-wide shutdowns. In addition, BART had to close its Red Line from Richmond to Millbrae on Aug. 21, the first day that it started it’s new Tap and Ride system.
BART closed its Yellow Line in eastern and central Contra Costa County on July 2 because of an electrical outage. And fires near the tracks between the Daly City and Balboa Park stations and near the San Leandro station stopped trains service on consecutive days in May.
