Major Transbay Tube Delay as Track Equipment Issue Disrupts BART Service
BART riders encountered significant service disruptions on Monday morning due to track equipment issues near Embarcadero Station in San Francisco. These complications affected the Transbay Tube, causing major delays and temporarily suspending two train lines.
Impact on BART Service
The disruptions originated from a track issue that heavily delayed the San Francisco Line heading toward the East Bay. BART has confirmed that the Red Line service between Richmond and Millbrae is currently suspended.
Alternatives for Affected Passengers
Passengers traveling to Millbrae are being directed to use a shuttle train that operates between San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae stations. Additionally, they are advised to transfer to or from the Yellow Line (Antioch-SFO).
- Traveling from Richmond? Take the Orange Line (Berryessa) and transfer at MacArthur Station to continue toward SFO.
- For San Francisco-bound riders, an Orange Line (Richmond) train can be taken, followed by a transfer to a Blue Line (Daly City) train.
- East Bay-bound passengers should board a Blue Line (Dublin) train and later transfer to an Orange Line (Berryessa) train.
Additionally, the Green Line service is suspended, leaving passengers with limited options. BART officials reported ongoing single tracking through the Transbay Tube as of 6:20 a.m.
Current Situation
At this point, BART has not provided a timeline for when normal service will be restored. Riders are encouraged to stay informed through official channels as the transit agency assesses the situation and works to resolve the track equipment issue.
