The San Francisco Bay Area's BART subway system is so financially fucked that it is likely going to be cutting 10/50 stations by January 2027 and 5 more by July 2027, cutting a total of 70% train hours and 25% of the system's miles, while also ending service at 9 PM every day and starting weekend service at 8 AM.
Funny how the richest region of the United States with a bunch of Ponzi Scheme tech companies can't fund public transit. Looks like the tech workers and tech industry have ruined yet another thing.

Seems like both Caltrain and BART haven't recovered from the pandemic. Perhaps people just aren't going into the office, or they might be scared of being like that Ukrainian refugee that got merked in Atlanta. But it doesn't really sufficiently explain why the ridership numbers dropped off so significantly after the pandemic
Or the BART agency is so wasteful with its spending that it can't handle a little lull in business

Seems like the tech companies prefer to run their own private bus lines for their workers. This was going on well before covid.

Plus you have Uber, Lyft, Cruise, Waymo, and Zoox all headquartered there. And also a Tesla factory. Could be factors.

Big shame if it happens, after all these years BART is still the only transit system in America that manages to look futuristic.

I bet if they looked at where the money was going on the administration side of things you could save the operations without sacrifice.
