bc under this svc, Rich/Bery branch frequencies go from ~10 -> 30 min, which is esp bad for Berkeley students. and bus connections in Dublin and Walnut Creek and Berryessa that are timed for 20/40 min aren't lining up with trains every 30. plus Rich/Bery branches have forced transfers to SF anyway

for the summer closures, can BART consider an alternative service plan where the rest of the system runs normally, and shuttle trains run in the tube (say, Montgomery-12th and/or Montgomery-Lake Merritt)? while SF-bound passengers would be forced to transfer, the rest of the system would be normal

Like many creators, I’ve dealt with stalking that has threatened my well-being over the years. This instance was the most insidious, so I’m now pursuing a restraining order. Stalking is never okay. Don’t be afraid to take legal action to protect yourself.

without this funding, we could see the worst service cuts in HISTORY. think trains every hour, entire bus lines eliminated, and stations closed. so please, attend the rally and call Newsom to tell him - KEEP YOUR PROMISE, SAVE TRANSIT

while Gavin Newsom is busy trolling Trump, Bay Area transit is *about to collapse* because he refuses to sign the 750 million dollar loan he promised in July to keep BART/Caltrain/AC Transit/Muni afloat until 2027 - but we can still stop service cuts!!

good work y'all! thanks to everyone who called, the legislature is including $1.75 bil in no-interest loans for transit (incl 750 mil for the Bay). but there's still one more thing to do! call Newsom's office and tell him to accept the 1.75 bil and SAVE TRANSIT!! www.movecalifornia.org/state-funding

Without state funding, transit systems will literally collapse, raising fares while cutting most service. BART alone is talking about cutting 90% of its service. (9/10)

...returned as strongly due to a variety of reasons. This leaves a huge hole in transit budgets, and they have to raise fares to compensate. But even that isn’t enough, and many California transit systems are facing huge budget deficits. (8/10)

While fare reliance might seem efficient, it hurts the most vulnerable people who can’t afford high fares. And transit is a public service - do you expect roads to make a profit? (6/10)

Pre-Covid, Bay Area transit, especially BART and Caltrain, relied almost completely on fares to operate, nearly 80% of their revenue. Meanwhile, NYC was at 50%, Chicago at 41%, and DC at 25%. (5/10)

tbf $4 is still high! And BART isn’t alone, transit systems throughout the Bay Area have higher fares compared to their West Coast peers, especially Los Angeles. So why is Bay Area transit specifically expensive? The answer is defunding and neglect by state and local govts (4/10)

Implementation of airport surcharges can be debated later, but the normal fare from Oakland to San Francisco is $4, and all Bay Area transit systems offer discounts for senior, disabled, low income, and young riders. (3/10)

First of all, in the viral tweet, Katie Porter took BART from Oakland Airport to Downtown SF, and paid the $6 airport surcharge, plus the $3 Clipper Card issuing fee. Many cities charge airport surcharges, including NYC, Chicago, and Denver. (2/10)

Advocates have been saying this exact thing would happen for years now but we now have the data to confirm: these cars were never meant to drive more safely than humans. They were just supposed to make big tech more money.

Last Friday (5/9), a computer issue suspended all BART service from before 5am until after 9am. While service was restored before the end of the morning rush, the resulting traffic impacts were felt for the rest of the day, showing just how important BART is and why we need to protect its future 1/5

Really bad take from where I sit (behind the wheel of a bus) because so much of the skill of an operator relies on human skills like intuiting the intentions of other humans. A surprising fraction of my work is reading faces, body language and gestures.
