»In which BART reboots, again

BART is out for the third straight day -- and the third commute-hour outage. Trains are stopped on the tracks, but BART are not placing blame on the computer systems that delayed trains the past two days.

BART stopped regular service after the problem hit at 5:27 p.m., moving all trains under manual control to the nearest station.

BART spokesman Linton Johnson said the problem is different than the software glitch that plagued the system Tuesday, but has the same effect -- a service shutdown.

Johnson said the network is showing signs of returning to normal operation, but could not say when service would resume.
