BART service suspended between SF and Oakland

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Bay Area Rapid Transit officials hope to restore limited service by this afternoon after a fire near a BART station shut down train service between San Francisco and Oakland Thursday morning.
People waited on lines more than a 100 deep to catch a bus into San Francisco. The California Highway Patrol said traffic on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was heavier than usual.
BART officials hope to have full service in place for the evening commute.
The fire broke out at a senior facility that was under construction near the West Oakland BART station around 2:15 a.m. It damaged electrical equipment, but the train tracks and the elevated concrete structure supporting them were not damaged.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but authorities consider it suspicious.
