San Francisco: Person on trackway blocks BART Transbay Tube service

SAN FRANCISCO — BART noticed main delays in service by the Transbay Tube between Embarcadero and West Oakland stations Sunday after an individual was detained and brought into custody after getting into the trackway towards Oakland and evading police for greater than two hours, authorities mentioned.

Shortly earlier than 6:40 p.m., officers shared a social-media put up alerting riders to the incident and predicted delays of no less than 20 minutes within the East Bay and Daly Metropolis and Millbrae instructions.

These delays added to ongoing delays of no less than 10 minutes within the East Bay and San Francisco Worldwide Airport instructions earlier Sunday because of pre-scheduled trackway repairs between the system’s sixteenth Avenue/Mission and Montgomery stations,

In a press release, BART spokeswoman Anna Duckworth mentioned BART police had been working to seek out the particular person, who was initially seen on the trackway in downtown San Francisco, and that practice service between Embarcadero and West Oakland had stopped whereas officers labored to find them.

Quickly after 7 p.m., BART mentioned that mutual-aid service could be supplied on the Transbay Terminal by AC Transit bus strains O, NL and F from Embarcadero to West Oakland stations, and by Muni between Embarcadero and Civic Heart stations.

Police managed to take an individual into custody at 9 p.m., and had been working to clear related scenes earlier than clearing practice service to renew.

There have been no reviews of accidents related to the incident Sunday evening.
