   Meanwhile, the 47 Muni bus that connects the Van Ness transit corridor to Caltrain has been “suspended” since 2020, and the extension of Caltrain to the transit center is still unfunded.

   I appreciate solutions that meet us where we are, but it’s depressing that we don’t seem to actually have the will to make a sustainable, integrated mass transit plan.

      In the Bay Area it's easier to create AGI than reliable, consistent, clean public transit.

         It is a plain fact that there would be more interest in public transit if it was as clean, as safe, and as reliable (if not cleaner, safer, and more reliable) than driving using personal vehicles.

            While I understand that “plain fact” is highly subjective, I would think downvoting is more appropriate than flagging. (Vouched)

            Would it make sense for cities to wait around, and buy huge fleets of autonomous vehicles? Probably.
