We carry 28,000 people per hour through our Transbay Tube under the bay because of the capacity of a train. That’s nearly twice as much as cars over the bay. Why wouldn’t you prioritize something that carries far more (and safely with automatic train control) over cars?

First, wow, what an honor to host a baseball superstar like Shohei Ohtani on BART.
We did not experience any issues on our end. We confirmed with Operations Control Center there was no delay for any Coliseum-heading train during the Bay Bridge incident.
There was an accident on the Bay Bridge, so the
#Angels
team bus couldn't make it to Oakland. So they had to take the BART but there was an issue there, too. Ohtani didn't have enough time to get ready for his start so it's pushed back to tomorrow.

BART turns 50 and instead of interviewing a qualified professor/historian or urban planning expert they give space for an anti-government, anti-tax, climate denying think tank that wants to privatize transit.
At least watch to see Oscar, our station agent turned manager, shine.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit system is turning 50. It was considered revolutionary for its time but has been derailed by the pandemic and other issues.
