Service is delayed in both the San Francisco and East Bay directions. BART encouraged riders to seek alternate modes of transportation. Alameda-Contra Transit District and Muni are both providing buses as mutual aid for passengers.
There are also problems reported specific to BART's Red line between Richmond and Millbrae. Millbrae-bound riders coming from Richmond must board a Berryessa train and transfer to a San Francisco International Airport train at MacArthur station, then take a shuttle train from SFO to Millbrae.
