BART commuters face delays, partial service closures Wednesday
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Unplanned BART track repairs are impacting the Wednesday morning commute for riders. There are major delays through San Francisco, and partial line closures are in effect.
BART train service in downtown San Francisco has been limited to one track due to the rail repairs. Single tracking is in effect between the Montgomery St. and 16th/Mission stations. Due to the single tracking, the agency said to expect 20-minute delays traveling through downtown SF.
To relieve train congestion, BART officials said there is no Red Line service.
'Richmond riders wanting to go into SF can board an Orange Line train and transfer to the Yellow line-Antioch-SFO train at MacArthur. A shuttle train will run between SFO and Millbrae stations,' the agency said in a service advisory.
The Green Line is shut down between West Oakland and Daly City stations. 'The Green Line will run only between Berryessa/North San Jose and MacArthur,' BART said. 'Green Line riders wanting to go into SF can transfer to the Blue Line-Dublin/Pleasanton-Daly City train at Bay Fair Station.'
Crews conducting overnight inspections of the track found the rail defect between Montgomery St. and Powell St. stations, officials said.
There is no estimated time for regular service to resume.

Advanced passenger processing system now captures photos before passport checks
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is rolling out new technology at the start of summer travel for those visiting or returning to the land of the free. "Enhanced passenger processing" alerts CBP officers to passengers' details before those travelers even get to a passport check by using automatic photo-capturing technology. Fox News Digital reached out to CBP with questions regarding the specific details that might be shared with officials. CBP Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane Sabatino said in a press release the department is "committed to enhancing national security while streamlining lawful travel." "By leveraging advanced technologies and mobile applications, we are transforming inspections at airports into a seamless, touchless process, enabling faster risk identification and efficient processing of legitimate visitors," Sabatino added. Enhanced passenger processing is currently available at 10 U.S. airports and one international location. It can be found at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Denver International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Cross Border Xpress, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, and Dublin Airport. There are discussions about introducing the technology to 10 additional locations, with one launching at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport next month. CBP officials processed over 420 million travelers at ports of entry in fiscal year 2024, marking a 6.6% increase from the previous year, according to CBP. Global Entry members can use "Seamless Border Entry" technology, which provides a touchless experience for flyers "on the move" by auto-capturing photos. The technology "allows Global Entry members to move through the inspection process seamlessly with minimal interaction with a CBP officer, depending on officer discretion," the release said. Seamless border entry's eighth and final location is set to open at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport this month.

US Public Transit Systems See Ratings Hit as Fiscal Woes Mount
US mass-transit agencies are already grappling with weak ridership numbers and evaporating pandemic aid. Now, their credit ratings are under pressure. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District was the latest to take a hit when it lost its Aaa rating from Moody's Ratings last week. The system's operations depend heavily on fares, and the dip in daily usage — which has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels — has ballooned its projected budget deficit to as much as $400 million in the upcoming fiscal years.
