SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- A total of eight passengers were evacuated after a VTA light rail train broke down on Highway 87 in San Jose due to a mechanical issue.

Still no word on whether the problems are heat-related. The issue is causing major disruptions in service.

Light rail service has been restored between the Tasman and I-880 stations, and is operating normally now near Old Ironsides.

Meanwhile, a bus bridge between the Blossom Hill and Ohlone Chynoweth stations will continue through the evening. VTA says they will work through the night and hope to have the Blossom Hill station full operational for the morning commute.
