"Without a transfusion of revenue, there's no reason to believe BART will continue to exist. The BART tunnels will be free to film the sequel to 'THX 1138.'"
"In order to pass with a simple majority instead of a two-thirds vote, this five-county measure is being signature-gathered. That remains a significant challenge: The requirement is 186,000 valid signatures by early June."
"Lousy weather in February didn't help. A ton of signature-gatherers for other measures doesn't help either, driving up the price of paid signature gathering."
BART faces dire consequences if a five-county revenue measure fails, including reduced service, higher fares, and potential closure. The measure also supports Muni, Caltrain, and AC Transit, which are at risk without funding. To pass with a simple majority, 186,000 valid signatures must be collected by early June. Challenges include adverse weather and competition from other measures, increasing the cost of signature gathering. The campaign is actively seeking signatures at various public events.
