SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 BART\u2019s recent struggles<\/a> with track availability continued Thursday, when they lost their Red Line and Green Line service to mitigate traffic following a fire on one of the tracks in the downtown area.<\/p>\n

Agency spokesperson MIchelle Robertson said the fire was caused by trash and debris near the 24th Street\/Mission station. Fire crews put out the blaze within minutes.<\/p>\n

All 50 stations remained open, but BART closed the two lines<\/a> to mitigate traffic through the area while workers did safety inspections in the aftermath of the fire. The closures caused major delays near San Francisco and reverberated through the system.<\/p>\n

BART said it began to restore full service to its system at about 1:20 p.m. but that residual delays were expected to continue.<\/p>\n

The Red Line serves riders from Richmond to Millbrae, and the Green Line serves riders from Berryessa\/San Jose to Daly City. Both lines run into the Yellow Line, which runs from the San Francisco Airport to Antioch, and the the Orange Line, which runs from Berryessa\/San Jose to Richmond.<\/p>\n

BART riders dealth with three straight days of interrupted service a week ago, culminating with major delays on Sept. 10 because of an equipment issue that interrupted train control.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 9, track equipment problems forced BART to close portions of the Green Line and Blue Line, the latter of which disrputed service between Dublin-Pleasanton and Daly City. A day earlier, BART lost Green Line service after a fire at a substation near the Daly City station.<\/p>\n
