Love seeing Muni and BART with the highest rail ridership growth in the US. If we pass @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure, ridership growth will continue. If we don’t, service will be slashed and ridership will plummet - Bay Area way of life and economy will crumble. We must pass this measure!

If the regional transit measure doesn’t qualify and then pass at the ballot this November, BART will be facing the feared ‘transit death spiral’. missionlocal.org/2026/03/bart...

BART: The worst-case scenarios are actually worse than you’ve heard
If voters spurn a November revenue measure, the biggest question isn't what stations BART may close. It's if BART will continue to exist, full-stop.

Bay Area transit is at a crossroads. SB 63 aims to secure $1B yearly to prevent major service cuts, but debate continues over new taxes vs efficiency. With 186,000+ signatures needed by June 3, the debate is clear: act now, or risk a system many rely on. www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

Connect Bay Area organizers pushing for sales tax to fund public transit
The solution proponents hope to put before voters is $1 billion in yearly funding for public transit, through a half-cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, and a one-cent sales tax in San Francisco.

BART's plans would include service cuts, laying off 1,200 workers, and station closures if the @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure fails. Gather signatures with us to make sure the measure gets on the ballot this November! luma.com/connectbayarea. www.ktvu.com/news/bart-mu...

The @sfchronicle.com reports that BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service if voters decline to fund public transit via the Connect Bay Area ballot measure in November. Read the full article: www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service
Hidden deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART if voters decline to bail out the rail agency is an all-out nuclear scenario called Phase 3: Shut the rail system down altogether.
