A significant amount of BARTs budget goes to inflated salaries for operators and ticketing staff.
They have very little money left for paying engineering and construction staff.
- lazyasciiart 1y agoInflated compared to what? Software engineer salaries in the BART region?
- mdorazio 1y agoDo you think train operators should make a quarter million a year to drive the same train on the same route every day? https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?q=train+operator&y= https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?q=train+o...
- __loam 1y agoYeah. It's an actually useful job compared to writing surveillance advertising software.
- JudasGoat 1y agoThe "train operators" cited were averaging around $80k for a 40 hour week. That comes to an hourly pay of around $38, when not working overtime. I don't see that as crazy high pay for a place like SF.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoThe total pay is quarter of a million. 80k + "other pay" whatever the fuck "other pay" is.
- dehrmann 1y agoWhat's "other pay?"
- buckle8017 1y agoIt's overtime that they get paid because the unions rules make it impossible to schedule normal hours.
- VonGuard 1y agoYes.
