Staffing Issues Halt Some East Bay BART Trains

CONCORD, CA — BART officials blamed low staffing for having to stop train service early Tuesday between Antioch and Pittsburg Center stations.

Roughly 10 minutes after tweeting the service change shortly before 6 a.m. — without explanation or an estimate when the train service would resume — BART officials tweeted again that the outage would last from 6:30 to 9 a.m. and said it was due to staffing.

Officials said Tri Delta buses 380 and 387 are providing service in the interim between Antioch, Pittsburg Center and Pittsburg/Bay Point station.

According to the tweet, riders must go to Pittsburg/Bay Point to catch BART until 9 a.m.
This is a developing story and more details will be shared when they become available.

Shortly after 9 a.m., service between the stations had resumed, BART officials said.
