San Francisco came to a standstill Friday after the BART train system was suspended due to a network failure.
BART service was halted around 6am PT, stranding thousands of commuters on their way to work.
‘Due to a computer networking problem BART service is suspended system wide until further notice,’ BART Alert shared on X.
BART added that crews are on hand, troubleshooting a ‘computer networking problem.’
The rail systems spokesperson Alicia Trost told NBC Bay Area that the control center was unable to power up the system after its daily overnight shutdown.
The system spans 131.4 miles of track throughout California, connecting San Francisco and the East Bay to other parts of the Bay Area.
BART serves more than 165,000 daily riders and more than 50 million annually.
