BART trains are being delayed more than 20 minutes in both directions through downtown San Francisco on Monday morning because of a trackside equipment problem, a dispatcher said.



BART issued an advisory at 9:23 a.m. about what it termed a "major delay" because of the equipment issue, which the dispatcher said is prompting train operators to move the trains in manual mode.
