Bay Area’s Disjointed Public Transit Network Inspires a Call for Harmony

"Though certainly preferable to clogged highways, stations like Embarcadero test the mettle of even the most intrepid commuter. There, a transfer from BART to the city’s light rail, known as MUNI, requires negotiating two levels, exiting through a turnstile, paying a new fare, entering another turnstile and descending another flight of stairs to reach a different platform."

How Can We Move More People Between SF and the East Bay?

"Expand casual carpool. Most of the cars crossing the Bay Bridge during peak hours have only one occupant. Casual carpool and ride-sharing services create new capacity without new investment. Today’s casual carpool pick-up sites in the East Bay simply require a small amount of curb space and some signage in order to function. Improved eastbound pick-up locations and schemes could help fill more empty car seats in the afternoons."

“We know our riders are feeling more cramped than ever before and that keeping trains on-time is one of their top priorities,” said BART Board President Tom Blalock.

“Hope is on the horizon with the new Fleet of the Future rail cars that will begin going into service in late 2017, but until then, BART staff is proposing a number of projects to get the most out of our current fleet for our customers. It’s like playing chess – strategically moving the available pieces for the maximum benefit.”

In the proposed budget, BART will add 16 trains per day and make four-car trains the minimum legnth. To make it possible BART would hire additional maintaince staff and rehab several badly damage cars currently out of service.
