A "loss of power" on the Metro train system in downtown Los Angeles left dozens of people briefly stuck in a disabled train in a subway tunnel and led to delays of up to 30 minutes on the Metro A (Blue) Line between the Pico and Historic Broadway stations.
The problem was reported about 9:30 a.m., according to Jose Ubaldo of Metro.
Los Angeles Fire Department crews responded to the scene to help escort out 47 people who were on a train that got stuck in the tunnel north of the Seventh Street/Metro Center Station downtown. There were no reports of any injuries.
It was unclear what caused the power outage, but it impacted service on the A and E (Expo) lines, which use the Regional Connector tracks through downtown Los Angeles.
According to Metro, power was lost between the Pico and Historic Broadway stations. Buses were brought in to shuttle passengers among the disabled stations.
"Metro is working to repair the damage and to return to regular service as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience to Metro customers," Metro spokesman Jose Ubaldo said in a statement.
