Dec 22 (Reuters) - Alphabet unit Waymo said on

Monday it resumed its ride-hailing service in the San Francisco

Bay Area ‌on Sunday, a day after temporarily ​suspending

operations due to a widespread ‍power outage that snarled ⁠traffic

and gridlocked ⁠parts of the city.

The company paused ‌service Saturday evening ​following a fire

at a PG&E ( PCG ) substation that knocked out ⁠power to ‍roughly ​one-third

of the city, affecting about 130,000 residents and forcing some

businesses to ‍close temporarily.

Waymo said most trips already underway ended normally before

vehicles returned to depots or pulled over.

"We are focused ​on ‍rapidly integrating the lessons learned

from this event, and are ​committed to earning and maintaining

the trust of the communities we serve every day," a Waymo

spokesperson said.

Waymo said it was committed to ensuring ​its technology

better adapts to traffic conditions during similar disruptions.
