Service on Bay Area Rapid Transit service is not operating Friday morning, as the agency deals with a computer issue.The agency announced shortly after 5 a.m. that a computer equipment problem following network upgrade work had prevented the start of Friday service.
Agency spokesperson Alicia Trost told CBS News Bay Area reporter Veronica Macias, 'For the most part, BART operates well every day. We just got new on-time performance numbers, and they were 94%. But when things like this happen, of course it ruins that relationship we have with our riders and we have to rebuild that trust.'It was not immediately known when service would be restored. BART urged commuters to seek alternate forms of transportation.Other transit agencies that provide service from the East Bay to San Francisco are operating, including AC Transit and the San Francisco Bay Ferry.Muni, which serves San Francisco, said in a statement that service may be impacted as operators who usually rely on BART to get into the city are being delayed.The agency has dealt with multiple disruptions that took down large parts of the system in recent months. On May 9, computer issues were also to blame for an outage that halted the entire system, impacting tens of thousands of commuters.Less than two weeks later, a fire near the San Leandro station disrupted service in much of the East Bay. Service on the Green Line was halted for several days as crews performed repairs.
