Can Local Transit Solve Regional Problems?
A columnist argues that planners should not try to use San Francisco's BART to fix regional transportation woes.
"BART has a place -- serving the Bay Area's urban core. Keep it there... Regionally, why anchor us to a nonregional BART that would reach only five counties with no prospects of serving more? It's further weighted with hardware too often in need of repair, with rigid, nonstandard parameters, hence astronomical costs."
