Driver decided to play chicken with our bus today. Miraculously NO collision, no one hurt. We have advice on so many levels with this one, but here's the most important: PUBLIC TRANSIT DRIVERS DO A DIFFICULT JOB AND DESERVE RESPECT AND REVERENCE.

We will be shutting down light rail service starting at noon today until further notice. We will have bus bridges in place to provide limited service while we work through this. The light rail yard remains an active investigation scene, limiting our ability to provide service.

Since the operator area will be taped off, there will be no access to the farebox or Clipper Card reader. This means we will not collect fares on buses during this time, nor will we collect fares for light rail and paratransit service either.
Service Update 1: Rear Door Boarding and No Fare Collection.
Passengers asked to board through rear doors of buses. Front boarding reserved for ramp use or priority seating. No fare collection for buses, light rail and paratransit service at this time.

Collectively we are working to establish a new regional Transit Network Management Board.
Which is a very government way of saying: while we may be separate, we need to act like one network for the sake of the riders.

A growing number of people, many of whom have relied on transit throughout the pandemic, and more are returning with increased service frequency.
That’s who the he’ll rides.

is the worst public transit ever! It’s just a total mess and completely inefficient. To think this is Silicon Valley’s premier transit service is insane.
