In effort to lure air travelers onto BART, airport may pay for new cop patrol
- fatnoah 7y agoOn my last two trips to SF, the main obstacle to riding BART was that there were more broken fare machines than working ones. I can deal with everything except being 6th in line to buy a ticket from the one working machine. Invariably, the 5 people in front of me are experience technology for the first time and have no idea what to do.
- burfog 7y agoI'm lucky to have avoided BART last time, choosing instead to rent a Nissan Maxima. BART was on strike. To me, that is a bit like the air traffic controllers going on strike, and you resolve it the same way. Strikes by government employees should not be a thing. Critical infrastructure must keep running at all times. Downtime had better be justified by something major, like a fresh new volcano opening up in the middle of the tracks. Since there is a history of strike, and there has been no change in the law to disallow it, one has to be a risk taker to even consider using BART.
