Computer issues lead to BART station closures between Hayward and Berryessa
BART closed several stations in the East Bay and South Bay Thursday morning because of a network computer issue, which caused major delays on the system.
Just before 10:30 a.m., BART said the issue forced the closure of all stations between Hayward and Berryessa stations.
Initially, the closed stations included Hayward, South Hayward, Union City, Fremont, Warm Springs/South Fremont, Milpitas and Berryessa.
Riders were urged to alternate means of transportation until further notice. BART also said AC Transit and VTA were providing bus service between Bayfair and Berryessa stations.
Shortly before 12 p.m., BART said service between Berryessa and Warm Springs had been restored and the Warm Springs, Milpitas, and Berryessa stations had reopened. However the stations between Hayward and Fremont remained closed.
While AC Transit is providing a bus bridge between Bayfair and Warm Springs, the VTA is no longer providing bus service for BART between Milpitas and Berryessa Stations.
This is a breaking news update. More information to be added as available.
