BART line closures cause delays during Monday morning commute

BART closures delay morning commutes

A "major delay" in the Transbay Tube on the San Francisco Line is causing problems in all directions, Bay Area Rapid Transit said on Monday morning.

SAN FRANCISCO - A "major delay" in the Transbay Tube on the San Francisco Line caused problems in all directions on Monday morning, BART said.

The transit agency said trains were single-tracking along the Transbay Tube for several hours. The root of the cause is an equipment problem on the track near the Embarcadero, BART said. 

By 9:45 a.m., regular service was restored across all lines, after the Red and Green lines had been closed for some time. Crews were still on scene investigating the problem several hours after the closures took place.
