This is only maybe true in the sense that there probably are some senior-level transit operators who make that much, but the median BART train operator gets $30.58/hr. SF MTA bus drivers are somewhere around $23/hr.
That hardly seems excessive or crazy to me.
- DrScump 9y agoThat BART figure ignores very generous benefits[0]. I'd like to see your source for calling that the "median" wage (as opposed to the starting wage). Santa Clara County VTA benefits are even more generous.
