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.

But don't worry, in sure "safety is their top priority".

If you're discussing BART please use SNAFU instead of FUBAR.

I had to do a power reset the other day when the aircraft didn't come up clean.

There is usually a solar storm occurring when it happens to me. Need to dump the ground power earth for 2 mins then power up off batteries and start the APU and she will come up clean.
