So you’ve got plenty of money, BART?

I can’t believe that BART Board members are considering forgoing the revenue from the planned very small (5¢ in SF) annual fare increase at tomorrow’s Board meeting, the DAY after they couldn’t run the trains because they hadn’t maintained their equipment room well enough. Perhaps they should spend some money on an air conditioning unit for their control room!

And for San Francisco BART riders who use the fast pass? Nada. While the suburbanites save a few dimes, you’ll have dirtier cars and a less reliable system.

I plan to be there tomorrow to represent SF transit riders at the BART Board meeting.

We fight for an excellent, affordable, and growing public transit system.

We fight for Muni because it is essential to the character and soul of our city. Unlike places where transit is a choice of last resort for people who don't have cars, Muni is used by and benefits everyone in this diverse city. It keeps our streets safer by limiting car traffic. It enables nearly a third of households to live without a car and reduces our emissions of greenhouse gases.

When Muni is threatened, we are all threatened. The SF Transit Riders Union is fighting to preserve public transit in San Francisco as a clean, safe, efficient, fast, and dignified transportation option!
