BART's Red Line between Richmond and Millbrae will not run on Friday because of a defect in the rail, the transit agency announced. BART said it expects to return full service on the line by Saturday. BART said it plans to fix the rail defect during the night after Friday's service. All the stations along the Red Line will remain open, BART said in a posting to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The agency said shuttles are available to take riders to Millbrae, the only station served solely by the Red Line during the day. Friday's delay is one of a few recent and upcoming disruptions to service for Red Line riders.
