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.
 
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.
 
It took BART aboutg 4 hr to getting running, so probably a bit more complicated, but they've been very mum about everything, I think
 
The good news is that very few people use BART anymore so the disruption wasn't very noticeable overall.
