"The BART board is made up of representatives from San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties... For two years now, monthly BART ridership has remained at about 40%-43% of pre-pandemic levels."
"Instead, they have recklessly continued to increase spending while pressing for legislative approval to place a tax increase before voters in 2026."
"Rather than take practical steps to resolve its huge operating deficits, BART prefers to simply beg taxpayers... for billions more in funding to keep expanding the system far beyond rider demand."
"It's disappointing that there isn't more election competition, more serious debate about BART's mangled finances and a greater likelihood of desperately needed change."
