Ok. Regular delays and over funded employees. The fat days of pre-COVID are gone. BART received $2 billion during COVID when ridership was low. Where did that go? Would have been the perfect time to invest in the system.
The $2 Billion went towards operating costs and investments in upgrades that are nearing completion, which will reduce outages a delays, something you’d know if you read the article. They’re not overfunded. This article is about how BART is facing a financial crisis because they’re underfunded.
I’ll ask you to read the story that just came out on ABC7news about the promises made in 2019. Now it’s to reduce outages. Seems like a waste of money since there aren’t any significant outages. BART had the attitude of you need us, we don’t need you. Guess again.
A lot of people rely on public transit. Like any public service, its costs money to operate, but it’s a net positive for the public and local economy. Tldr: we live in a society.
