Update All BART services resumed after massive shutdown

Oakland, CALocal News

BART has restored train service after a systemwide shutdown caused by a computer networking issue and a malfunction in the train control system. The agency issued its first alert around 4:24 a. m. , indicating that all 50 stations were affected. Spokesperson Christopher Filippi noted that similar past incidents took “several hours” to resolve, but no specific timeline for restoration was initially available.

Limited service was anticipated to start at 9:30 a. m. , but BART confirmed full service restoration by 9:21 a. m. Commuters were urged to consider alternative transportation options during the disruption.

The incident underscores the critical nature of reliable transit systems in the Bay Area, where many depend on BART for daily commutes. BART’s transit planner app, as well as local bus services and the 511. org website, were recommended resources for affected riders. This situation reflects ongoing challenges in maintaining operational integrity in public transportation networks.
