BART Restores Green Line Service After San Leandro Fire

BART's Green Line service between Berryessa and Daly City stations was restored on Monday following a nearly weeklong disruption caused by an electrical fire near the San Leandro station on May 20. The fire resulted from an electrical fault in a 1,000-volt DC cable that bypassed safety protections, damaging trackside equipment and suspending Green Line service while repairs were made. Limited service had resumed earlier on Tuesday, but full restoration occurred ahead of BART's initially projected date of May 27. This incident followed a separate system-wide shutdown on May 9, marking the second major BART disruption in the month. BART is currently operating on a Sunday schedule for the Memorial Day holiday, with all five lines running until about 9 p.m., after which service is reduced to three lines. An investigation into the root cause of the fire remains ongoing.
