The day before, Muni had mechanical issues, causing a train back up at the Embarcadero station.
And today, BART is reporting some delays after a train car stopped at the Powell Street Station, and wouldn't restart.
According to Linton Johnson, spokesman for BART, passengers going to the East Bay can expect 10-15 minute delays.
The BART train stopped at about 11:45 a.m. because of unknown mechanical issues. BART officials couldn't get the train moving; so they used another BART car to push the disabled train all the way to the Daly City yard, traveling 10 mph.
That took more than 45 minutes, which created a system wide jam.
Service was partially resumed by 1:12 p.m.
When asked if the trains would be running clear in time for the evening commute, Johnson laughed.
But he was at least willing to commit to this: "We will go into the evening commute with no delays."
