BART Suspends All Trains Systemwide Due to Network Control Failure

BART service was completely suspended systemwide early Friday morning due to a train control system failure caused by a computer networking problem, with no timeline provided for resumption. The transit agency urged all commuters to seek alternate transportation and requested assistance from other transit agencies while crews worked to diagnose the issue. Riders expressed frustration over the sudden shutdown, with some turning around at stations and others forced to pay for costly rideshares. BART communicated about the outage through social media and its media line, advising riders to stay informed for updates. This unprecedented disruption significantly impacted morning commutes across the Bay Area. The situation remains under active investigation as BART works to restore service.
