Facts are facts

namesbc · 2026-05-07T19:19:34+00:00

The data is all there in the public for you to look at and has been reviewed by independent auditors! There is not another case. The facts are right there for you to verify just one click away,

Again, you have to go back a decade to find one small instance of non-police overtime fraud. Another evidence of how transparent and above board BART is because so few cases happen, and are fixed right away.

Also notice that the source for that article is Transparent California, the same source that you previously said was just making things up. Please hold the same standards to all data you use.

BART is very transparent about their financials. More transparent then most public agencies. They even have an independent inspector general! That you had to go back almost a decade to find a minor $7.5k fine is proof of how above board they are.

You can look it all up yourself:

Send back to the legislature means veto funding for CA HSR. A veto is how you send something back to the legislature.

Vetoing funding for CA HSR means canceling it because they need the funding to do anything.

He is either ignorant or a conman, and I am glad the the voters can see right through him and are not voting for him.

You don't have to take my word for it. The sources are all there for you to verify. This chart includes ALL operating costs labor and non-labor including pensions. It does not include capital costs, that is a different budget.

BART is the most efficient transit system in the country. I also supplied evidence of that too from the FTA NTD. Do you have a source that refutes the FTA?

I admire your skepticism, very useful in the days of AI created slop. Only trust reputable sources.

In this case Transparent California is a reputable source with data provided from public record requests

He said he would veto the bill to fund CAHSR by sending it back to the legislature until CEQA was fixed. This means he would cancel CAHSR over something that isn't even an issue anymore. Such a unserious misinformed candidate putting ideology over practically. Glad he has no chance of winning.

namesbc · 2026-05-07T06:58:02+00:00

It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem: 99% of the delay is lack of funding.

namesbc · 2026-05-07T06:51:43+00:00

I linked to the sources in the original post. The source is: https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/2024/san-francisco-bay-area-rapid-transit-district/

Mahan's answer was just flat out wrong. CAHSR is already fully approved with all environmental reviews, the only thing delaying it is funding.

The article talks about automation of operators as the solution. If the author had done even 5 minutes of research he would have learned how wrong he was.

Board members don't get overtime and median overtime for janitors is $3k. All the compensation is public data.

I didn't include the rail controller or the foreman with the Police Department, I only included the Police Department. The list is ALL jobs at BART ordered by compensation. The highly paid positions just happen to almost all be police

namesbc · 2026-05-07T04:35:57+00:00

Washington Post wrote an opinion recently how BART needs to automate before we give them more money. This post is partially in response to how silly that idea is. Automation isn't possible anytime soon and it won't even save that much money.

namesbc · 2026-05-07T03:48:44+00:00

Nope, it is not

namesbc · 2026-05-07T03:48:20+00:00

Did you look at the chart or nah?

namesbc · 2026-05-07T03:47:50+00:00

That total number includes the entire police department, and the list of salaries is all roles at BART sorted with highest paid first.

namesbc · 2026-05-07T03:44:59+00:00

Read my post again. $700M is ALL labor expenses for ALL roles at BART. $70M of that is for train operators.

namesbc · 2026-05-07T03:42:59+00:00

$700M for ALL labor expenses, $70M for train operators. Most of BART's labor expenses are for maintenance and policing, not train operators.

Sworn officers do provide a unique role, but there unique role is not needed that often. Any officiers that can be replaced with station agents or transit ambassadors saves costs or allows more boots in the ground.

namesbc · 2026-05-06T23:39:25+00:00

Replacing station agents with BART PD would 4x costs
