When are service advisories issued?
BART issues a Service Advisory when multiple trains are off schedule by 10 minutes or more.
As a delay initially unfolds, we'll issue an advisory as soon as possible given other safety, security and operational priorities within the BART Operations Control Center.
Our goal is to issue a BART Elevator Advisory when platform-level elevators or street-level elevators at BART Stations go in and out of service.
BART offers all service advisories via email and text and also on the official BART app, including customized in-app notifications for delay advisories and elevator outages.

Cancelled Trains
BART communicates cancelled trains in advance on our website and the official app in the station specific “real time departures,” “schedule by station,” and the Trip Planner. Trains are also shown as cancelled on the digital monitors before the fare gates and the platform digital signs. There are also overhead announcements made at each station. We share cancelled trip data with third party apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, Transit app and others, but we can’t control if they pick up the data feed.
The BART official app offers in-app notifications for real time departures at the stations you use and the days and times you ride. And they list cancelled trains. Set up the notification in your profile under “notification settings” and “station departure setting.” The notification gets pushed every 5 minutes and will display on your phone’s Home Screen. Set it up for the exact time frame you want.
We don’t issue a BART Service Advisory on the top of bart.gov or on Twitter for two reasons. It doesn’t meet the policy (two or more trains are off schedule by 10 or more minutes) and more importantly there isn’t a way to communicate a cancelled train that makes sense for impacted riders at each station down the line. Saying we cancelled the 5:33am train from Berryessa will not resonate with someone waiting for that same train at West Oakland at 6:31am. The problem is compounded even further down the line as the train runs are lengthy in time. Instead, we offer station specific cancelled train information since it is easier for each rider to understand how their trip is impacted.
