I’m in Ohlone Park and I guess I should be watching my daughter play soccer but instead I keep thinking about they should dig up the park to build a third #BART track allowing trains to turn at Downtown #Berkeley.

The Bay Area regional transit measure is not a “bailout” for #BART & #Muni because they are failing. It’s simply addressing the problem that our agencies rely too much on fares to survive. It’s normal and right for our cities to subsidize public #transit, just like nearly every other major city.
#BART delay in SFO direction because of police activity in SF.
BART supporters need 186,000 signatures by June. Will Hunky Jesus and $7-a-gallon gasoline get them there? 

Last week’s BART column elicited a fair few arguments against a BART rescue measure. They made as much sense as carpeting on a train.

#SanLeandro #PoliceChief Angela Averiett involved in late night high speed hit and run on 580 #Freeway. Victim found out from #CHP that speeding car with flashing lights that recklessly hit side mirror & rapidly switched 4 lanes over and ditched scene, had license plate registered to top cop in #LeastBay city... She hasn't been charged by any responsive regional policing agency, and has further evaded responsibilities by now going to work for #BART cops in ostensible #PR role "to enhance #trust and #accountability".

Since the flagrant late night hit & run, she was made #DeputyChief in charge of the #SFBayArea #BartPolice "Progressive Policing and Community Engagement Bureau" via the endless taxpayer teat.

Actually insane. Imagine if BART and AC Transit goes down. Game over for the Bay.

"AC Transit staff, at a meeting of its board of directors last week, said that without voter approval of a tax measure in November, which promises to raise $1 billion a year for 14 years for Bay Area transit, the agency projects deficits of $50 million a year beginning in the 2027-28 fiscal year.

One of the scenarios to close that gap in the agency’s mildly named Alternate Service Plan could reduce costs by up to $53 million annually by cutting 16.4% of current service, which already sits at 85% of pre-pandemic levels. Another scenario would reduce costs by $36.75 million and cut bus service by 11.45% of current levels."

AC Transit reveals doomsday budget scenarios, and entire lines could be cut 

If a new tax doesn’t pass in November, one plan would cut service to two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels. Bus lines that serve fewer people, such as the 281, 19, 251, and 56, are on the chopping block.

@dev Agree. My #VTA + #BART + #ACTransit route used to be $8.55 on my #clippercard , now it's $3.70. Not sure how this math / finance works out.

I did read that the current discount is up for review in approx 18-24 months.

#BART delayed because of "police activity" at Daly City.

But according to the BART operator they are still waiting for the cops to show up.
