“We apologize for the inconvenience caused and understand the frustration of our passengers. Our team is working around the clock to identify and fix the problem,” said a BART spokesperson.
The disruptions have caused significant disruptions for commuters across the Bay Area, with many expressing their frustration on social media platforms. Passengers have been advised to seek alternative modes of transportation if possible or to allow for extra travel time if using BART.
BART officials have urged passengers to remain patient while they address the technical issues causing the disruptions. They are committed to providing timely and accurate updates to keep passengers informed.
