Good.

$6 gas is probably going to be permanent. We're going to need more bike lanes, sidewalks, public trans. Not less.

In a huge win for public transit, voters in the San Francisco Bay Area appear to have approved a measure that will slightly increase the sales tax to fund transportation in the region over the next 14 years, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The measure will allow transit agencies, including BART, to preserve their service and avoid deep cuts to stations and transit lines amid the end of emergency pandemic funds.  

Unlike other ballot initiatives in the state, the Regional Transit Measure didn’t face a well-funded campaign advocating against it. But it presented voters with a big ask: to rethink their relationship to public transit dramatically, and shift to a system where all residents—not just riders—pay to keep their region connected.  

good. a transit system is so much cheaper to keep alive than to rebuild after it's gone

If only we lived in a world were we had articles talking about car infrastructure being closed because of it being subsidized way to heavily.

I mean, the voters voted to create a sales tax that benefits public transit systems, but I assume the agencies will still ask for more funds and say it's not enough.
