Full BART Service Restored After Outage

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — BART says normal service has been restored across the system following a computer issue that knocked out service systemwide on Saturday.

As trains began functioning again on Saturday, limited service was restored before the agency said all service was back up.

Crews working on BART's uninterruptible power supply overnight in Oakland ran into issues that impacted the traction power supply system and train control routing system, BART said in a press release.

"Without both these systems, we are not able to safely dispatch trains for service," BART said.

The agency said it would perform a forensic evaluation to determine what happened.

"This analysis is expect to take several days due to the complexities of our system," the agency said.

In the meantime, BART directed riders to its trip planner for finding alternatives. Riders don't have to pay for bus agencies that serve parallel bus service between BART stations.

On the trip planner, BART said passengers should click on the icon that shows other transit options and toggle off BART as an option. The agency said it's unable to turn off BART trips at this time in the app.

BART said it would post updated on its website and on the @SFBART Twitter account.

This report will be updated.
