BART recovering from major delays following equipment problem

NBC Universal, Inc.

BART says they are working to restore normal service after an equipment problem on the track near the MacArthur station in Oakland caused major delays Saturday evening.

The agency said before 6:30 p.m. that their train control crews were able to restore power so we can properly route trains near the MacArthur station. They said they are close to restoring normal service.

For a time, trains were not able to go through the MacArthur station in Oakland and they were turned back between there and Lake Merritt.

The incident affected riders heading towards SFO, Millbrae, Antioch, Richmond and North San Jose.

The agency said it’s offering free AC Transit service to get around the closure.
