Your Commute: Dublin/Pleasanton Delays

Like we've always said, when you come into the BART station and you see a line of asterisks on the announcement board, it never has anything good to report. Unidentified debris on the tracks at the Bay Fair station has managed to completely snarl all the lines -- in particular, Dublin/Pleasanton service into SF, and service to the airport (though all the lines looked pretty screwed up from our vantage point this morning.) On the bright side, we are totally caught up on our our alt-weekly reading. Chris Daly got the Bay Guardian endorsement.

Expect 30-45 minute delays systemwide, as they try to get a bus bridge in place. And not like this'll help you unless you read SFist on a PDA, but they're offering refunds for your BART fare for those of you who're just going to take an alternate means of transportation instead.

Just a thought -- you know, could BART maybe keep some extra trains at West Oakland, so when a train gets delayed on one side of the Bay, they could just run one of the extra trains on the other side, so the whole system doesn't get screwed up? There were some pretty miffed-looking people with luggage tapping their toes while waiting for a Millbrae/SFO train this morning.
