Despite a pledge by protesters to shut down Oakland’s Fruitvale station, BART officials say there were no disruptions to service during Thursday’s evening commute.
When several dozen protesters carrying signs and chanting converged on the station about 4 p.m., they were met by extra BART and Oakland police officers.
