I would have thought it would have gone up.

After all, there aren’t many cities that provide free moving toilets, every few minutes.

The city doesn’t even care if you wipe.

That’s Pelosi’s kind of city, and that’s why they love her.

15% less ridership. That’s a lot of lost revenue. I guess they’ll need to cut back on maintenance, security, cleaning services.

When I lived in the city by the bidet, I commuted to the east bay from the city’s financial district, boarding BART at Montgomery street. One time I decided to go west toward Daly City because one of my office buddies and I were talking about something so I figured I would just do the Uturn at Daly city where he parked. When I got off the train with him, I looked around and said: this place looks like a port of entry, not a train station, adding does anyone speak English. He laughed. That was in 89, I imagine it has gotten much worse.

Sorry, if your a Democrat in California complaining about BART or anything else, I say “tough shit”. You asked for it, your getting it!

Yet they also cited misgivings about crime, filth and homeless people seeking shelter on the rail system

That's right, folks. Misgivings.

Not the true emotions like revulsion, anger, fear. Just a pussified gentle word like misgivings.

Everyone knows the reason and everyone knows the people paid to maintain and police the BART have been ordered not to do it.

Our leaders are handing our cities over to vagrants, addicts, and criminals right before our eyes.

Ask your riders where they are going and why would they want to go there. If the destinations are no longer attractive, say because they are overrun by homeless people with tents on every sidewalk and who use those same sidewalks as latrines, then the answer is obvious. No one wants to go where your trains will take the, except away. Idiots are just not asking the right questions.

"problems on BART trains which include rising crime and a substantial increase in the number of homeless people using the trains as a moving shelter (and occasionally a bathroom)"!!!!!

So not only do the people of San Francisco allow human defecation on the sidewalks and in the grocery stores but on buses and subways also???!!!???

What can anyone say to--or about--people who consider it perfectly all right to defecate on sidewalks and in stores, busses, and subways???

This is beneath contempt! So are the people who OBVIOUSLY condone it!

It violates every standard of civilized behavior.

This is what these people have in mind for the entire USA?????

Obviously these people are not capable of governing themselves.

I crunched the numbers.

The Tokyo subway handles BART’s annual ridership in one week.

10,000,000 riders/1825 days = 5479 lost riders per day.

Is my math right?

Was in SF about 25 years ago and the main BART station was already becoming a place that you didn’t want to spend much time in or around - can only imagine it has to be 10 times worse than the toilet streets these days.
