The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency offered bus service between downtown San Francisco and Daly City on line 14R from Mission Street and special service between the Daly City, Balboa Park, and Glen Park BART stations.

It's a "systemwide" computer issue, BART said on its website, so all trains and buses that are part of the service will remain closed indefinitely after the service's scheduled 8 a.m. Sunday start time.

Bus service throughout BART's service area was be made available by their partner agencies, including MUNI, AC Transit, VTA, Tri Delta, CCCTA and WHEELS.
