The chosen headline here and OP's summary are kinda counter productive and misleading. There are two ballot measures on the ballot to fix funding. The cuts will probably happen if they don't pass. But the way this post is written implies that the cuts will happen and there is nothing that can be done about it. Which is kinda dangerous during an election. Unsurprisingly the comments section mirrors the post.

Because they just can't resist more traffic? People commute from across the Bay and shit, this would be a disaster I think.

The area’s transit funding crisis was exacerbated by ridership that plunged at the beginning of the Covid pandemic and remains too low to fill the coffers of BART

knew it. COVID dropped ridership and it never fully recovered. the same thing happened where I am, they've been cutting bus and light rail lines and reducing schedules for the last few years due to low ridership. I'm part of it, pre-covid I used light rail often, but now I work remote and moved as well and hardly ride public transit now.

Shame it’s sales tax but people should pass it.

Ideally would prefer cap gains tax at the state level get used towards maintaining public transit like this.

In an area of such incredible wealth, they first cut funding for the most needing it.

Sounds like the people of the Bay Area need to dunk a lot of Neoliberal politicians in the bay. They can join their worthless hero Milton Friedman out there.

Makes sense, its not like there's any money in the area. Sometimes it's just impossible to pay for things....................

stop fixing roads and divert the funds here

absolutely bonkers

sounds like a good way to make nobody use their transit

It's interesting to see the implications of such drastic cuts to public transit in San Francisco. While I understand budget constraints, I'm concerned about how this may disproportionately affect lower-income communities who rely on these services. Have you thought about how other cities might adapt their models instead? street view
