BART platforms in downtown San Francisco grew crowded Tuesday evening as many people were heading home to the East Bay after work.

All eastbound trains — Antioch, Dublin, Warm Springs and Richmond — are seeing at least a 10-minute delay due to equipment problems, the transit agency wrote in a tweet.

A Richmond-bound train was taken out of service due to a mechanical issue at the 16th Street Mission station.
