As you may have read, BART is facing a deficit in the $30 million dollar range this year. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they can cut costs besides what they have suggested? I’m not sure if charging for parking is the way to go. I have a few suggestions below:
1. Turning off the electronic signs at the very ends of the platforms during non-commute hours. No one is standing down there anyways.
2. Turning off most of the lights in the tunnels between Colma and Millbrae. Does anyone besides me think all these lights are a little excessive?
3. Turning off the escalators after 7 p.m. in stations where the elevator is inside of the paid area. If someone can’t walk down the steps they can now use the elevator. Also in the busiest BART stations the escalators would stay on all the time.
4. Truncating Dublin trains at 24 Th Street/Mission. Not sure how feasible this is right now.
Any other suggestions?
