BART has lost nearly 10 million passengers on nights and weekends. Can it lure them back?

    You mean to tell me that liberals are not helping the environment by using public transportation?

    I have no idea what caused the drop.

    I don't live there, so it doesn't affect me.

    If the RW wants to use this as an excuse to attack Pelosi, have at it.

    Thanks to Democratic policies, BART is becoming a rolling homeless shelter.

    Her entire city, along with Maxine's, needs to be shut down and quarantined. As much as the city pisses and moans about all the problems, you'd think they would have enough common sense to elect someone who actually cares. I guess keeping the city blue is more important than keeping it clean and attractive.

    The drop for riders there is simply that anyone in those cities are now so well to do that the outlying cities (the people who have to work) are paid to park their hydrogen powered from solar limousines at their own meager $800,000 2 bedroom houses, and their job is to do the 2 hour commute to the San Francisco $5 million homes (none are cheaper) and chauffeur those wealthy people around.

    This is only partly tounge and cheek! At the prices of these homes in San Francisco, exotic zero emission vehicles with $25 drivers can drop off these wealthy residents and, since there is zero parking, the drivers drive the vehicles away until called.

    These stories from the Right Wingers are hilarious!

    It’s called rideshare. Uber and Lyft have convinced nearly 4 million people to drive total strangers around in their own vehicles for pennies and the public is all over it. I mean when 4 people can summons a car for around $7 (national avg of a rideshare fare) then why in the hell would anyone pay for and use public transportation or drive their own car for that matter?

    Now don’t think that there are 4 million active Uber/Lyft drivers. This number is the total number of people that have tried their hand at rideshare since Uber’s inception back in 2010. The average rideshare driver contracts with Uber/Lyft for less than 1 year grossing $147/week. Today there are approximately 1.7 million active rideshare drivers in the US. Just over ten years ago there was only 77,000 taxis, livery and limos registered in the US.

    Didn’t we see a story recently where a guy was eating a sandwich on the BART train and he was arrested? A few feet away was a man pissing or defecating and the cop did nothing to that guy.

    IF you live in San Fran and DON'T ride the BART system then you are uncaring of the plight of your fellow human being, a racist/homophobe as well as a man made climate change denier. Maybe they need to pass a law mandating the usage of BART and shutdown all the roads in and around the city that will show all those rich technocrats driving up property values.
