Transit is very popular and lower ridership stats are hiding its popularity from those who don't ride transit themselves

The underlying problem is transit is still configured for a centralized peak commute that will never occur again, and since the number of SF bound peak commuters have permanently dropped so has ridership *for a schedule built to serve them*

Naive policymakers are wrongly interpreting this lower ridership as an expression of transportation preference, but surveys have demonstrated people want to use transit more if it worked for them

California should be making a massive investment in transit right now so transit agencies can realign their service for our more flexible post-peak world
