This is due to a power loss at a substation that began at approximately 5pm on Saturday, July 27th. The suspected cause is a blown breaker, which caused a major electrical short that essentially short circuited the trackway in that area.

At approximately 5:20pm on Saturday, July 27, we experienced a disruption in service between 12th St/Oakland and Fruitvale stations due to a power issue at an Oakland substation.

As a result, four stations were closed. They are Fruitvale, Lake Merritt, 12th St/Oakland and 19th St/Oakland. Trains are turning back at Coliseum, West Oakland, and MacArthur stations.

Take transit to Super Bowl LX events this February!

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is hosting the championship game on Sunday, Feb. 8, and transit is a great way to get to the stadium and other events.

This week also marks the start of something really special. Friday, Sept. 1, is the official start of Transit Month, the monthlong celebration of regional transportation that toasts the many trains, buses, and ferries that connect our region and uplift our communities, economies, and cultures.  

During Transit Month, riders are encouraged to explore the region by taking local transportation. The month is hallmarked by a multitude of free events, a Ride Contest, ride-a-longs with transit leaders, a Rider First Awards ceremony, and more. 

Some of the BART-centric events to look forward to this year include: 

• Meet the BART Anime Mascots on Sept. 16  
• Beat the Ridership Record All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day on Sept. 16 
• Transit CEO Ride-Along and Happy Hour on Sept. 29 
• Mokelumne Trail Bridge Bike Ride from Antioch BART Station Plaza on Sept. 30, organized by Bike East Bay

Read about the upcoming events and RSVP here.   

Transit Month also hosts a Ride Contest with prizes for those who log the most transit trips (riders who log any rides will be entered into a raffle). 

The rider who logs the most BART trips this Transit Month will win an HO scale BART A car made by Rapido Trains (currently available for preorder on railgoods.com). This museum-quality model will arrive inside a custom-made display case, allowing the rider to proudly show off their best-in-the-Bay Transit Month performance (Delivery is estimated Summer 2024). Other BART prizes up include a BARTable swag bag with promotional prizes, a poster-size BART map, and a BART anime mascot swag bag. Hear from last year’s BART Ride Contest winner below.
