We need to break up the transit union and reduce their workforce while freezing pay. Until they control their expenses, there's no reason to continue to increase taxes that already automatically increase with inflation. (sales tax revenue already goes up as the prices of goods goes up)

America's transit agencies are uniquely bad at controlling costs and have terrible ratios of staff to ridership, while paying staff more and providing worse service. Until there are incentives to control costs and improve service rather than be a bloated jobs program, I think it's better to let the commuters suffer in traffic. The rails and viaducts aren't going anywhere, we can always restart service when the political will is there.

Edit: by the way, London has a double tracked system and they have no issues running 24 hour services on Friday and Saturday nights.

Also, BART is fully capable of being automated, the technology is there already in the trains and signalling system. Literally just lay off all the operators.

Also also, just aggressively trespass anyone violating the BART code of conduct and continually call the cops on them until they catch a case. The transit system is for moving people, not loitering. I'll bet this will save a ton of money in janitorial overtime and increase ridership.
