Certainly not every vote will be unanimous, but you take several positions which are counter to what is actually planned. And your positions appear obvious to the majority of actual BART riders – as opposed to folks living in Sunnyvale who envision “people” (not themselves) being whisked to San Francisco on BART.

Outside of yourself, when I think “BART Board” I always get a picture in my head of Fang waving a cellphone over a BART fare gate.

I hope you run for D8.

Are you on Twitter? There are quite a few local transit organizations communicating there and it’s an excellent resource for spreading useful information to interested folks.

Some of these ideas made it into the BART-Santa Clara agreement. That agreement still has its flaws, but BART did take in some of the criticisms of the BART-Samtrans agreement, and made provisions for a sinking capital fund, funding for core-system impacts, and an operating fund source. BART tends to repeat many mistakes, but sometimes learns from them. It feels great to be a part of an organization learning to do something better.

And who knows, crazy transit blogger activists might end up running things someday.
