BART Transbay Service Delayed 20 Minutes For Maintenance
(CBS SF) -- BART trains through the Transbay Tube are delayed over 20 minutes in the East Bay and San Francisco directions Monday afternoon because maintenance crews needed to take a measurement, a BART spokesman said.
BART officials reported the unscheduled maintenance at 11:52 a.m. via Twitter.
BART spokesman Jim Allison said that track maintenance crews needed to take a measurement, likely a rail measurement, which they do regularly, but he said he doesn't know why this measurement request wasn't previously scheduled.
Allison said that as of around 12:10 p.m., the trains were expected to resume normal service.
