A brake system including: (i) hydraulic brakes provided for respective wheels of a vehicle, and configured to be activated by hydraulic pressures of respective brake cylinders so as to restrain rotations of the respective wheels; (ii) a power hydraulic pressure source including a drive source that is activatable by supply of electric energy, and configured to generate hydraulic pressure by activation of the drive source; and (iii) a common passage to which the power hydraulic pressure source and the brake cylinders of the hydraulic brakes are connected. The brake cylinders include a first brake cylinder connected to the common passage via a first individual passage that is provided with a normally-close electromagnetic valve as a first individual control valve. The brake cylinders include a second brake cylinder connected to the common passage via a second individual passage that is provided with a normally-open electromagnetic valve as a second individual control valve.
