Bay Area commuters may see devastating cuts to transit service because Gov. Gavin Newsom is backtracking on a promise to provide a critical $750 million loan to BART, Muni and other regional transit agencies, local lawmakers say.
…
Without that funding, the senators say, BART will have to close stations and limit train service on many routes to once an hour. Muni could face a 50% reduction in frequency on many lines. As a result, freeway traffic would balloon, leading to traffic jams and longer car commutes, they say.
Fuck Gavin newscum so god damn much
he’s running
The enemy of train is my enemy
What if he actually is the devil
Newsome personally assured me he’s just diverting the loan to fund the superior BORT high speed rail.
Seriously, it’s called BART? Is it pre-Simpsons or a nod? San Francisco sounds like such a funny place.
Very pre-Simpsons. One of the Great Society metros. Same era as the DC subway and MARTA in Atlanta.
In Florida there used to be Sarasota County Area Transit. They changed their name, for some reason.
Then there’s Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority, or SEPTA.
He’s a democrat though so liberals will cheer this on
Once an hour? Lmao that just means you don’t have trains
I saw a sign at one of my bus stops announcing a service that was basically “Uh, if the bus doesn’t come, we’ll reimburse you for your Uber,” so that’s probably the next step before they just give up and make Uber “public transit.”
The rigid timescale of the modern business world was somehow calcified before we built the infrastructure to sustain it. Now we’re stuck to it.
