Reminder that there’s a free shuttle to Caltrain and a BART connection at SFO. De-incentivising ride share use and encouraging public transit seems like a good thing.

BART passengers are paying more or less the same amount to BART in a surcharge that (at least in theory) is supposed to pay for the construction.

It’s even worse as BART charges per rider while ride share surcharges are per vehicle. It’s often not even cost competitive to take transit if you’re a couple or family.

I remember the first time I took the BART with luggage. After a few stops, the announcer said effectively "Tunnel is broken, no more BART service" and dumped everyone out.

I have a very high tolerance for this kind of shit, but I have a hard time trusting the BART again.
