BART to Suspend Service Between 24th Street and Daly City This Weekend, Nov. 14-15, With Free Bus Bridges
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) is reminding riders that train service will be suspended this weekend, November 14 and 15, between the 24th Street Mission and Daly City stations, and the Green Line will be shut down entirely, with passengers directed to free bus bridges. According to BART, construction crews will install key equipment for a next-generation train control system in the trackway along that segment, and the section will be fully closed for both weekend days to keep the work safe.
The free bus bridges will be operated by SamTrans and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency: SamTrans will run direct express buses, while the SFMTA will run local buses stopping at Glen Park and Balboa Park stations. The Red Line will run only between Richmond and 24th Street Mission, the Blue Line only between Dublin/Pleasanton and 24th Street Mission, and trains between Daly City and Millbrae will run every 15 minutes. Regular service will resume at 5 a.m. on Monday.
BART warns that trips for passengers south of 24th Street may be delayed by up to 30 minutes and advises riders to check its trip planner before traveling. Once the new train control system is in service, trains will be able to run more frequently, and one-way capacity through the Transbay core is expected to rise from 24 to 30 trains per hour.
