San Francisco Bay Area residents were scrambling Friday for alternate routes after a regional commuter rail system shut down all its trains due to a computer issue, a second systemwide closure for the beleaguered rail line in four months.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District’s suspension of service started about 5 a.m. following a computer network upgrade, BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said. The trains were still down as of 8 a.m., and there was no estimate time for service to resume, she said.
