BART service has resumed between MacArthur, Coliseum and West Oakland stations. The 12th Street Oakland City Center, 19th Street Oakland, Lake Merritt and Fruitvale stations have reopened.

There is currently no Red Line service, and there are major delays systemwide due to earlier power loss, the agency said.

BART stopped service to three East Bay stations Saturday after a power problem closed four others. A power problem that originated about 5:20 p.m. between 19th Street/Oakland and Fruitvale closed those stations along with 12th Street/Oakland City Center and Lake Merritt.

At about 9:20 p.m., BART announced that it had additionally stopped service between MacArthur, Coliseum and West Oakland stations due to the power loss. There was also no Green Line service between Berryessa and Daly City, and no Red Line service between Richmond and Millbrae, BART said.

Oakland firefighters extinguished a blaze in a BART electrical room after large portions of the transit service lost power Saturday night. About 300 passengers were evacuated, the fire department said.

There were no reports of injuries
