Ten Bay Area voters called on a judge on Monday to block a proposed regional sales tax measure that transit advocates say is critical to avoid deep service cuts.

The challengers petitioned for an injunction in Santa Clara County Superior Court, contending that the ballot question about to be printed in five Bay Area counties this November is deceptive and biased in favor of a yes vote, violating election laws. 

“We want it to be an unbiased statement of what’s going to happen,” said co-petitioner Gregg Dieguez, who is president of the Committee for Affordable Bay Area Transit, a group opposed to the regional sales tax measure. 

Dieguez said in an interview that he and the other named petitioners are all “ concerned citizens who have longstanding complaints about the amount of money being wasted on traditional transit.”

I’m going to a concert this Friday at the Oakland Arena, and I’m planning to take the Bart (for the first time) bc I hate driving and I didn’t want to pay $40 for parking.

I just want to know how safe the Bart is these days. I saw questionable things on the news in the past like fare evaders and sketchy people, etc. so I’m just worry about any safety issues 😅 For reference, I’m planning to go from the Milpitas to Oakland Coliseum stations

i’m going to a concert this sunday and now just realize that the green line which would take me straight to the venue won’t be running. is it safer to take the orange line and then blue line or should i take the caltrain and then take muni?

Hello so I got to Millbrae BART Station by bus from SFO. Instead of entering Caltrain, I accidentally tagged into BART and entered platform before realizing my mistake.

Agent at station gave me a sticker for like a free BART entry (?) and opened the door for me to Caltrain Station.
I asked if I should tag out of BART so
my tag-in at same location would cancel out? He said No, I only get charged when I tag out.

Is this correct? I think Caltrain works differently, right? Like if you dont tag out they automatically charge you $7.75 or some such as a fixed amount … or whatever the fare is from tag-in to end of line?

it is 540pm on friday evening. my train driver came on the pa system to let us know the new episode of house of the dragon is on this sunday. is this an ad? pls tell me we dont have ads like this. is this new?

Am I cursed, or is this just peak BART?

I've taken 6 BART rides this week.

• Monday: cigarette smoke.
• Tuesday: bad breath and someone who wouldn't stop farting.
• Wednesday morning: another memorable breath-related experience.
• Wednesday afternoon: overwhelming body odor.

At this point I'm considering adding a clothespin to my commute essentials.

I don't need everyone to smell like a department store fragrance counter. I'm just asking the BART gods for one ride where my nose doesn't have to work overtime.

Has anyone else had an unusually unlucky streak lately, or am I somehow selecting the "hard mode" train cars?"
