BART is experiencing significant delays Monday morning due to a disabled train on the rails in Oakland.
According to BART spokesperson Jim Allison, BART technicians are bringing another train alongside the delayed train between the Coliseum and Fruitvale stations in order to transfer passengers and transport them to the closest station.
Around 7 a.m., the crippled train broke down.
The Berryessa Line is experiencing significant delays in all directions due to the incident. According to BART officials, the malfunctioning train momentarily disrupted service on the Green line between Berryessa and Daly City.
A damaged train between Fruitvale and Coliseum stations is causing a significant delay on the Berryessa Line in all directions.
Initially, passengers on the San Francisco line had to change to a Berryessa train at Bayfair after boarding a Dublin/Pleasanton train. Those from the Berryessa line were told to get on a Richmond train and change to a Daly City train at Bayfair.
Just before 9 a.m., regular Green Line service was resumed. The disabled train issue came after a previous one in downtown Oakland caused by a track equipment issue between MacArthur and 19th St. stations, which resulted in service delays of 20 minutes in all directions.
