BART Suspends All Trains Due to Systemwide Computer Failure

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) experienced a complete service shutdown early Friday morning due to a systemwide computer equipment failure following network upgrade work. The transit agency has not yet provided a timeline for resolving the issue and is advising commuters to use alternative transportation options. BART recommended using its Trip Planner tool and app, with instructions to deselect BART in transit options, and directed passengers to a map of bus and ferry alternatives available on its website. The outage has affected all train operations, causing significant disruption during the morning commute. BART continues to monitor the situation and has urged travelers to seek other means of transportation until service can resume.
