not the point but i feel like sf is doing a lot of heavy lifting on those light rail ridership figures compared to oakland idk ๐คทโโ๏ธ and that's why we need to bring back the key sys-
In June 2026 the Seattle region had >by far< the highest US light rail ridershipโ5.5m ridersโvs 4.5m in LA, the 2nd highest. Seattle light rail ridership has exploded since January! Overall, the region's transit ridership is ~back to pre-covid levels. www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-...
absolute gag also my first time ever doing public comment im so ๐
Bob Powers of BART asks for a plan for the next steps once Clipper 2 is stable. He pushes back against the "waterfall" process, where the MTC team is waiting for Clipper 2 to work to even start to think about what the next steps are for integrated, affordable fares.

Preorder 2026 BART Holiday Merch now thru June 5 on railgoods.com Over the past 5 years, BART has offered many variations of our beloved holiday sweaters. This year, we stitched them all together into a gloriously chaotic creation, allowing you to wear multiple eras of BART holiday merch at once.

The LOSSAN corridor is one of California's most important and iconic rail lines, but it faces major challenges. Reforms are needed to address fragmented governance, coordinate schedules and fares, and deliver infrastructure project more effectively. Read our recent blog by @shegabme.bsky.social.

The Bay Area is at risk of massive transit service cuts if we don't pass a 2026 regional funding measure. It cannot be overstated how disastrous cuts would be for our entire region. Please read this thread for actions you can take to save Bay Area public transit. And share to spread the word! ๐งตโฌ๏ธ

Clipper 2.0 is going to revolutionize how we get around the Bay. Something as simple as taking the bus to the train will be rewarded, not punished. From my house in Berkeley to my friends in the Castro could be literally half the price as today. Check it out: clipper2.hikingbytransit.com ๐งต 1/7
