BART resumed service between Oakland and San Francisco in the wake of a train breakdown, but widespread slowdowns hobbled the transit system even after the Transbay Tube was reopened.
Service in the Transbay Tube was reported to be shut down Sunday morning, according to a tweet by the BART Alert Twitter account that was posted at 11:11 a.m.
“We have restored service through the Transbay Tube in both directions,” BART stated in a tweet that was posted at 1:25 p.m. on the BART Alert Twitter account. “We just towed the train that was stuck near West Oakland, the one that was blocking the track we need for full Transbay service,” BART stated in a tweet posted at 1:05 p.m. “We had been using only one track.”
