BART "disconnected" south of 24th/Mission this weekend

[Greg Merritt]

Scheduled maintenance will have bus service instead of train service between 24th/Mission & Daly City stations (including Glen & Balboa Parks off-line). These will be served by SamTrans & Muni buses, which should be able to take bikes on their front racks, I'd assume, but peninsula service south of The Mission will for sure have delays in both directions due to the bus bridge.

The rest of the system (the rest of SF, the Richmond line, the Antioch line, the Fremont/SJ line) should be normal.

Details below.

Bus Bridge and Green Line Cancellation Alert: Free buses replace trains between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City stations June 1-2 Major track work to begin in downtown Oakland June 22-23 On the weekend of June 1-2, BART crews will make trackway improvements and manage vegetation that could impact service between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City stations. To ensure a safe workspace for the project team, free buses will replace trains from 24th Street/Mission to Daly City. Riders can expect delays of up to 30 minutes on the work weekend. Key service impacts the weekend of June 1-2: Green Line service cancelled. No Red Line service from Millbrae to Daly City. Yellow Line trains will serve that portion of the system with 20-minute headways all weekend. Yellow, Blue, and Red lines will turnback at 24th Street/Mission Station. SamTrans will provide direct bus service between 24th Street/Mission and Daly City. Muni will provide hopper bus service between 24th Street/Mission, Glen Park, Balboa, and Daly City stations. Glen Park and Balboa Park stations to be closed except for bus service. The last regularly scheduled northbound departure from Millbrae to Daly City will be cancelled. The last northbound departure from Millbrae will be at 11:40pm and SFO at 11:47pm The work team will make the most of its time in the closed trackway. Crews will replace aging rail, install new equipment to support the traction power system, enhance tunnel lighting, and advance other key improvements. The equipment being replaced is decades old and has outlived its design life. Riders will enjoy a smoother, safer, more reliable, and quieter ride once the projects are complete   Rebuilding the core of BART in downtown Oakland Once the work in San Francisco is complete, BART will begin one of the most challenging rebuilding projects in its history. Workers will spend 17 non-consecutive weekends over the next three years revitalizing the trackway in downtown Oakland. The project begins the weekend of June 22-23. Free buses will replace trains between Rockridge, MacArthur, and 19th Street stations on work weekends in 2024. Riders can expect delays of up to 40 minutes in the work area. Get details on the service impacts of this work here. You can also see the staff presentation on this project to the BART Board of Directors. BART's plan to boost reliability through rebuilding  The upcoming work is part of BART’s overall effort to improve the safety and reliability of the 131-mile, 50 station system. There are now more rebuilding projects happening across BART than at any point in its 50-year history.

Thank you Kelley, yes!

So sorry, everyone -- this BARTS service interruption is impacting the Mt. Hamilton weekend. I sure messed up the subject, as I seem to be a week ahead of myself! One more weekend to go in May before this BART outage weekend that impacts the 200k.

I will re-do the subject here...
