Updated: Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Riders Advised To Seek Alternatives

UPDATE 1:00PM-

Equipment problems possibly related to a power issue have caused a BART service disruption between North Concord and Pittsburg/Bay Point today and a bus bridge has been set up to ease delays, an agency dispatcher said.

BART officials initially reported on Twitter at 10:14 a.m. that service had stopped on the line because of an equipment problem on the tracks.

A dispatcher could not immediately confirm the exact cause of that equipment problem, which has brought delays of at least 20 minutes, but said it may be a power issue.

As of late this morning, BART officials said there was still no service running between North Concord and Pittsburg/Bay Point and that riders should seek alternate means of transportation.

Bus shuttles are moving riders between the two BART stations.
