A BART equipment problem in Oakland on Tuesday caused a major delay across the transportation agency’s entire system, BART said. 

Just after 5 p.m., BART said there was an equipment problem on the track between 19th Street and MacArthur, and that it was creating a 20-minute delay on the San Francisco Line in the Millbrae and Daly City directions. 

It was soon upgraded to a major delay, and by 6 p.m., BART had notified riders that A/C transit and Muni service were available. 

There is a major delay system wide due to an equipment problem on the track between 19th street and MacArthur stations. Bus service is available via A/C Transit bus numbers N/L, S, and O. Muni service is available Embarcadero to Balboa Park stations.
