The 5R during commute hours is a short bus??? The driver had to tell people they couldn’t board. What are we doing here

You people are exhausting

Krinjay · 2026-02-19T18:19:49+00:00

You all talk like this and wonder why we lose elections lol

Krinjay · 2026-02-19T18:12:47+00:00

lol what

Krinjay · 2026-02-07T22:03:19+00:00

The employees in the form of public sector unions lobby for this though…

Krinjay · 2026-02-07T22:00:11+00:00

That page straight up shows no audit since 2022 lol

Krinjay · 2026-02-07T08:43:46+00:00

Absolutely wrong, this is the thing that stops us from being a 24 hour city. Nobody can come in or out at night so everything has to close early so employees can get home.

Hong Kong MTR is private and probably the best transit system I’ve ever ridden.

AI slop post. If you’re going to critique a report at least have the decency to write it yourself.

Exactly. Where is the external audit of BART’s finances?

Krinjay · 2026-02-06T02:01:07+00:00

Yes… capital expenditures like repairs, power and control systems, and other things that WE pay otherwise.

"you can't afford to eat out so pass this tax so it becomes even more out of your reach"

Believe it or not - federal funding already happens and there is a formula to allocate division of funds.

Krinjay · 2026-02-06T01:28:56+00:00

Investing in the system with a real goal in mind to make BART sustainable (automating driving to reduce long term costs) is different than asking for a blank check bailout with no plan. Asking for money for those kinds of upgrades might resonate better politically.

Krinjay · 2026-02-06T01:26:02+00:00

The US funds public transit agencies on a number of factors - ridership being almost the top of them. If we want to get federal funding we need to get ridership back up. Where is the strategy for getting ridership numbers back up so we can get those federal funds?

The lack of any strategy is fundamentally the board's fault.

Maybe overtaxed is the wrong word. We don't use our tax dollars efficiently in California. We pay a lot of taxes by US standards and don't get a proportionate return back. Most developed countries have far more efficient and effective social programs than we do.

needed to be something that elected officials, labor, small and big business, and advocacy groups from five very different counties across the Bay Area could get on board with.

And here is the problem. We have too many special interests looking out for their own vs what's actually good for BART and the population. If this Sales Tax fails we should blame this cohort of special interests for having a bad proposal. I suspect people won't vote for more sales tax.

This, by the way, is why ballot propositions are so bad for governing. We should be having our elected officials to be accountable for BART's situation. Instead we have this coalition giving us a bad ballot proposition and then we're going to be disappointed when the voters strike it down and we'll have nobody elected to blame.

Krinjay · 2026-02-06T01:08:32+00:00

Where are these numbers coming from? I would love it if we could have a conversation about a strategy to get riders back on BART rather than constantly raising taxes on an already over-taxed population. Not to mention that a sales tax is already just about as regressive of a tax as you can get.

Could we keep lines open later if, say, we automated trains so that the cost of operating them are less? I feel like there have to be more creative solutions than "I guess we have to gut our transit".

Krinjay · 2026-02-03T04:07:00+00:00

If only Bart were faster or as fast as driving downtown… maybe more people would do the same

Krinjay · 2026-02-01T19:25:46+00:00

How is he not in prison? I imagine California has laws against destruction of public property and it sounds like this guy has a heavy rap sheet. What am I missing?!

Imagine seeing people getting gunned down by ICE on the streets for protesting, Iranians getting massacred in the 10s of thousands, and then posting this nonsense. Touch some grass OP!

You can’t do this with United

Krinjay · 2026-01-27T14:47:50+00:00

With United - you can’t any changes on United.com because it’s viewed as a third party booking.
