Entire Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system was down about 4 hrs this morning for "train control problem" leaving thousands of commuters scrambling for ride-shares, buses etc., to get to work this morning.

BART claimed it was not a cyber attack, just some random glitch.

Did they add new rolling stock?
System wide shutdowns were once a feature of Vancouver's Sky Train system each time new rolling stock was added.

Supposedly not; there was supposedly a problem "powering up" the control system during morning startup, since they shutdown at midnight every day.
