BART Restores Service to 50 Stations After San Leandro Fire; Green Line Remains Suspended

BART service was disrupted after a fire broke out on the tracks just south of the San Leandro station early Tuesday morning, causing a shutdown between the Berryessa, Lake Merritt, and Dublin/Pleasanton stations. While all 50 stations reopened by Wednesday morning, the Green Line service remains suspended due to damage to track equipment, with trains running at reduced speeds between Bay Fair and Coliseum. Passengers traveling from Berryessa are advised to use the Orange Line to Richmond and transfer at Bay Fair to the Blue Line toward Daly City. Limited service resumed by Tuesday evening between Berryessa to Bay Fair and Bay Fair to Dublin/Pleasanton. The cause of the fire, which started around 5 a.m., has not yet been determined. This incident follows another recent system-wide closure caused by a network connectivity issue earlier in May.
