BART to host online town hall Tuesday to answer questions about transbay shutdown

Got questions about our planned Transbay Tube closure? BART officials will host a live online town hall meeting from Noon-1pm on Tuesday, July 28th to answer questions about the work taking place the first weekend in August and during Labor Day weekend to repair a critical section of track near the Transbay Tube.  BART officials from Operations and Maintenance and Engineering will take questions that have been emailed or tweeted in before and during the webcast.

Riders can ask questions about how the lifeline bus service will work, the closure of the West Oakland Station, what it means for the rest of the system, details about the work being performed and why it’s important, and any other related question.

How it works

  • Starting today and through the live event you can email your questions to BetterBART@bart.gov.

  • Starting at 9am on Tuesday, July 28th, you can tweet your question by tagging @SFBART. We will also monitor the feed during the event for those with questions once the town hall starts. We will not be responding via Twitter. You must watch the town hall to see if your question was answered.

  • The town hall will be held from Noon-1pm on Tuesday, July 28th. Watch it live at www.bart.gov/townhall. To watch the meeting, make sure you have Microsoft Silverlight downloaded on your computer. Google Chrome is not compatible with Microsoft Silverlight so you must use another browser to watch the event.

An archive video will be available at the same location immediately following the event for those who couldn’t watch it live.
