'Terrible for the Bay Area': BART systemwide shutdown on Friday a 'wake-up call,' warns Sen. Wiener

SANA Francisco (Kron) – Computer defects on Friday morning disrupted the BART region, and the passengers highlighting the decisive role of the system just days before the deadline for financing.

The disorder is a blatant reminder of the possible consequences if BART and other transit systems are not secured. A loan of $ 750 million is needed by next week to prevent severe services discounts, with the stability of the decision on negotiations between state officials and local transportation agencies.

“Bart, Muni, AC, Caltrain, VTA, it is necessary, it’s not optional,” said Senator in the state of California Scott Winner. “And when these systems are closed, people cannot reach work, and they cannot reach school and explode traffic on our highways.”

Senator Winner (De San Francisco) warned that without securing the loan, Bart may face collapse, as Moni may reduce the service by up to 50 %, and he also faces Calterine and Electressite significant discounts. “It will be very terrible for the Gulf region,” he said.

Carter Lavin from the Transbai alliance highlighted the critical nature of the situation of people’s livelihood, noting that California needs an escalation in the absence of federal support. “The cavalry does not come from the federal government. California needs an escalation. The ruler needs to fulfill his promise.”

The San Francisco CIVICO CENTER CENTER PLAZA assembly on Monday at 9 am before the deadline on Tuesday to confirm the insistence of the funding issue.

Bart’s officials did not respond to the interview, but they apologized for social media disturbance, while acknowledging the dire results of the job defect.

The results of the financing negotiations will significantly affect the future of transportation systems in the Gulf region, with discounts in the potential service waving on the horizon if the $ 750 million loan is not secured.
